Varicose veins are not only a cosmetic annoyance: they
can lead to complications that result in lost time from
work and lost wages. Treatment has improved with the
use of minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery
time and complications and offer better long-term
results—encouraging news, considering that the problem
affects 10% to 20% of adult men and 25% to 33% of
adult women.
Risk factors include family history, an occupation that
necessitates standing, older age, obesity, and pregnancy.
