What Causes Varicose Veins?
Poor Blood Circulation
Poor blood flow over time can weaken the veins and cause varicose veins.
Damaged Vein
Damage to a vein such as from surgery, inflammation, infection, or an injury impairs the valve and allows blood to flow backward, resulting in varicose veins.

Other factors increase the likelihood of varicose veins, including:
- Aging
- Pregnancy
- Being Overweight
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Genetics / Family History
- Sedentary Lifestyle
- Hormonal Medications
