What Causes Spider Veins?
The venous system is a carrying tank for circulating blood, generally holding up to 70% of the blood volume at any given time. Circulating blood within veins is returned back to the heart using complex interactions between valves and muscle pump function.

A dysfunctional venous system is the result of damage to vein walls and valves that result in varicose vein problems. Naturally, blood pools in these veins due to gravity, resulting in high pressure within the veins. Whereas the deeper veins are supported by the muscles within our legs, the superficial veins that cause varicose veins will stretch. Over time, these vein walls can become weakened from the constant pressure and resulting in vein injury. The size of the veins will gradually increase and lead to valve dysfunction and venous reflux. The visual presentation of this is commonly seen as spider and varicose veins on the legs.

Venous insufficiency is more common in individuals who sit or stand for prolonged periods, increasing age, females, obesity, and most importantly patients with a family history. Developing varicose veins is linked to our DNA and this affects men and women alike.
