Myth: Varicose veins are an inevitable part of aging.

Fact: While your risk increases with age, the cause of varicose veins is primarily genetic. Aging may worsen the condition, but young people can get them too. In fact, symptoms of vein disease can appear as early as in your 20s. Other factors that can contribute include hormonal changes, such as pregnancy; being overweight, and occupations that require standing or sitting for long periods of time.

Sitting for hours while working can increase the risk of vein disorders. Symptoms may include swelling in feet and ankles, pain, itching, tired legs, skin changes and visible varicose or spider veins.

The good news is there are effective treatments available that provide immediate relief. Find out more by calling (337) 312-8346 or visit www.VeinCenterSWLA.com.
