Causes and Risk Factors of Vein Disease

Vein disease typically develops when the valves inside the veins become weakened or damaged, causing blood to flow backward and pool in the legs. While this can occur due to aging or genetic predisposition, several lifestyle and health-related factors can significantly increase a person’s risk. Understanding these causes and risk factors is essential for both prevention and early intervention.

Factors That Contribute to Valve Damage Include:

Age

The risk increases as we age.

Genetics

A family history of vein disease increases susceptibility.

High Blood Pressure

Puts an extra strain on the vein walls leading to weakening and stretching over time.

Prolonged Sitting or Standing

Remaining in the same position for long periods can reduce healthy blood flow in the legs.

Pregnancy

Hormonal changes (progesterone), increased blood volume, and pressure of a growing baby against the pelvic veins can contribute to weakened vein wall and poor valve function.

Obesity

Excessive weight adds stress to the veins.

Lifestyle

A sedentary lifestyle with lack of movement can slow circulation and lead to blood pooling in the legs.

Gender

Women are more prone to certain vein conditions, especially during pregnancy or hormonal changes.

Smoking

Smoking damages blood vessels, reduces circulation, and weakens vein walls, all of which can contribute to the development of vein disease.

Symptoms of Vein Disease

Leg Pain / Aching / Cramping / Itching

Skin Changes / Discoloration

Leg or Ankle Swelling

Leg Heaviness & Fatigue

Ulcers / Sores / Open Wounds

Restlessness in the Legs

Tingling or Burning in Leg

Varicose & Spider Veins

Learn About Our Vein Care Services

Our cardiovascular team uses innovative, minimally invasive techniques to administer safe and effective treatments for vein and vascular conditions. Here’s an overview of our vein intervention services:

Varicose Veins

We treat varicose veins using minimally invasive treatments like endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and sclerotherapy. These procedures help reduce discomfort and improve the appearance of your legs.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Our doctors treat DVT with catheter-directed thrombolysis, which dissolves blood clots without surgery. This approach lowers the risk of serious complications, such as pulmonary embolism.

Venous Reflux Disease

Receive state-of-the-art, minimally invasive ablation treatment options or other methods, depending on the severity, and improve your quality of life.

Our experienced care providers also treat other vascular conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and carotid artery disease. We aim to offer customized, effective treatments for all vein and vascular health concerns.
