Age of onset of varicose veins and treatment of varicose veins

Varicose veins can occur at any age, but usually begin in the mid twenties and begin to progress.

Varicose veins and age

Varicose veins are more likely as we age and it is believed that it is a combination of factors including loss of valve integrity and loss of calf muscle bulk - the older we get, the weaker our calf muscles get- this condition is called sarcopenia - so keep your calf muscles strong so that they can effectively pump venous blood out of the legs and keep your veins healthy. I also recommedn Veinamin product for prevention of venous disease.

Age Varicose Veins Occurs

Thank you for your question. You can get them at any age, and pregnancy/hormonal changes/genetics are the big causes for females, but men also get them. Standing on your feet for long periods can also cause them. I hope this helps.
