Our vascular laser therapy in Dublin, OH, provides an effective treatment for these veins and allows patients to get their confidence back.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are often caused by weakened or damaged valves in the veins.
Veins have one-way valves that help blood flow back to the heart. When these valves become weak or damaged, blood can pool in the veins, causing them to become enlarged and twisted. This condition is known as venous insufficiency.
Several factors can contribute to the development of varicose veins:
- Age: As people age, vein valves can weaken, increasing the chances of developing unsightly veins.
- Genetics: A family history of varicose veins increases the likelihood of a person developing them.
- Gender: Women are more likely to develop varicose veins due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause.
- Obesity: Excess body weight puts additional pressure on veins, which can lead to weakening vein valves.
- Pregnancy: Increased blood volume and hormonal changes during pregnancy can put extra pressure on the veins.
- Prolonged standing or sitting: Occupations or lifestyles that involve standing or sitting for long periods can increase the risk of varicose veins due to decreased blood flow.
- Physical inactivity: Lack of regular exercise can weaken the muscles that support vein function, increasing the risk of varicose veins.
