What are risk factors of varicose veins?

Do you have ugly, painful, swollen varicose veins on your legs? Do you have unsightly spider veins?If you answered "Yes" to either question, you should know these risk factors increase your chances of venous insufficiency, a progressive vein disease that only gets worse over time. The most important risk factors of vein disease include:

• Varicose veins or a family history of varicose veins.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to a blood clot.
• Obesity or weight issues.
• Pregnancy or recently pregnant.
• Extended periods of standing, sitting or inactivity.
• Being over age 50.
• Being a woman – you have a higher chance of getting this disease than a man.
• A recent injury or trauma.
