Why Do I Have Varicose Veins?
At Ashbury Cosmetics located in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, we have many patients who wonder about the development of varicose veins.
The biggest contributing factor to the development of varicose veins is family history. Around 70% of people who have varicose veins will also have a close relative that suffers from them as well. This is because weak-walled valves and veins are inherited, and during your lifetime these veins enlarge.
Women are five times more likely to develop varicose veins than men
In addition to genetic and hormonal factors, there are also certain lifestyle choices that can influence the development of varicose veins. These factors include:
- Jobs that require long periods of standing
- Obesity
- Lack of exercise
- Multiple pregnancies
