Why do varicose veins happen?

There is no cause for varicose veins to occur in most patients. We call these primary varicose veins. They happen with age and occur more frequently in females. Hormonal factors may play a role in females. Those who stand and sit for prolonged periods or lift heavy weights are at increased risk.


Secondary varicose veins occur due to reasons like deep vein blood clots.

How is it diagnosed?

It is diagnosed using a non-invasive test called ultrasound (more specifically, DUPLEX). This uses natural sound waves and can help "see" body structures as the sound waves bounce back from them.
