Vericose Veins

Causes of Varicose veins

Varicose veins occur when the walls of your veins weaken. As blood pressure in your vein increases, the weakened walls allow your vein to get bigger. As your vein stretches, the valves that keep blood moving in one direction in your vein can’t work like they should. Sluggish blood backs up or pools in your vein, causing your vein to swell, bulge and twist.

Vein walls and valves can become weak for several reasons, including:

• Hormones
• The ageing process
• Excess weight
• Restrictive clothing
• Pressure inside the vein from standing for long periods

Risk Factors

1. Gender – women are more likely to develop varicose veins than men
2. Pregnancy – Being pregnant can cause varicose veins.
3. Birth control pills – Taking medications that contain female hormones, such as birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy used to treat menopause-related symptoms, increases the likelihood of developing varicose veins.
4. Heredity – if your family members have varicose veins, you are more likely to have it too.
5. Weight – Being overweight or obese is a risk factor for developing varicose veins.
6. Getting older
7. History of blood clots – If you have had a blood clot in the past, or deep vein thrombosis, you are at high risk for developing varicose veins.
8. Damaged veins – If your veins have suffered traumatic damage, they can enlarge & become varicose veins.
