What REALLY causes varicose veins? (Hint: it’s not what most people think.) 💙

Most people assume varicose veins come from aging, long work shifts, or being on your feet — but the true root cause is almost always vein valve failure.

These tiny valves are meant to push blood upward. When they weaken, blood leaks backward and pools in the legs, leading to enlarged, twisted veins.

And here’s the surprising part: genetics is the biggest risk factor. If one parent had varicose veins, your risk rises dramatically. If both parents had them, studies show your risk can be as high as 90%.

That means even healthy, active people can develop varicose veins simply because their vein walls or valves are more vulnerable.

Other contributors can add to the problem:
• Hormonal changes
• Pregnancy
• Prolonged sitting or standing
• High-pressure occupations
• Natural shifts in circulation over time

Daily exercise is great for overall health — but it doesn’t strengthen vein valves.

Understanding the why behind your symptoms is the first step to finding real relief. If you’re dealing with heaviness, aching, or swelling, it may be time for a proper vein evaluation. ✨

Struggling with heavy, achy, or swollen legs? 💙 While home remedies can’t cure varicose veins, they can meaningfully reduce day-to-day symptoms — and the science backs it up.

Here are 7 simple habits that help support better vein health:
1️⃣ Elevate your legs
2️⃣ Wear compression stockings
3️⃣ Walk regularly
4️⃣ Stay hydrated
5️⃣ Eat anti-inflammatory foods
6️⃣ Avoid long periods of sitting or standing
7️⃣ Try gentle leg massage

Just 15 minutes of leg elevation can help drain pooled blood and lower pressure. 🚶‍♀️ Regular walking boosts circulation, and compression stockings alone can reduce swelling by up to 70% in early stages of vein disease.

Small daily choices make a big difference in how your legs feel. ✨

If symptoms persist, it may be time to get your veins checked.

Catching vein issues early can make a huge difference in your long-term leg health. ⏱️Damaged vein valves don’t heal on their own, so blood continues to pool and symptoms slowly progress—even if you don’t notice changes day to day. When left untreated, vein disease can advance to complications like venous ulcers, which can take months (or years) to heal. 📆

Studies also show that untreated ulcers have a 26% chance of coming back within just one year. ⚠️

Why early treatment helps:
• Relief from pain, swelling, and heaviness
• Prevention of long-term skin changes
• Better outcomes with minimally invasive treatments
• Lower risk of serious issues like DVT

If you’re noticing symptoms, don’t wait—your legs will thank you. Book your consultation today! 💛
