    What Causes Varicose Veins?

    July 4, 2018 By

    Varicose veins are a sign of chronic venous disease. Chronic venous disease affects the valves in your veins, whose primary function is to prevent blood from flowing backward. As a result, blood flows back into the veins, pooling in the lower leg.

    The following factors can increase your risk of developing varicose veins:

    • Age
    • Being overweight
    • Gender
    • Genetics
    • Sitting / standing for long periods

    CVD
