Varicose veins are caused by weakened valves in the veins that allow blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. Risk factors for developing varicose veins include age, genetic tendency for weak veins, being female, being overweight and standing for long periods of time. Treatment options for varicose veins range from lifestyle changes, such as exercise and compression stockings, to medical procedures, such as endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and sclerotherapy. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove the affected veins.
