If your parents or grandparents had varicose veins, your chances of developing them may be higher.
Heredity is one of the leading factors behind vein valve dysfunction. When valves weaken, blood can pool in the legs, leading to visible veins, aching, swelling, and heaviness over time. And it isn't only women. Men develop varicose veins too.
Knowing your family history can help you pay closer attention to early signs and seek care sooner.
