1. Varicose Veins Are Just A Cosmetic Problem

• People are generally under the impression that
  varicose veins are just a cosmetic problem, and
  therefore, dont need medical intervention. While
  not everyone will come through other symptoms,
  there is a significant number of patients who
  develop them. Symptoms include cramping,
  heaviness, achiness, swelling, and achiness in
  the legs. You may also experience dry and itchy
  skin near the varicose veins. Varicose veins also
  put you at risk for forming deep vein thrombosis.
  Less common symptoms are skin discoloration and
  thickening, ulcers, and bleeding. Any skin damage
  from varicose veins is permanent. Hence, if you
  have varicose veins, it is important that you
  talk to your doctor about vein treatment.

2. Varicose Veins Are Inevitable 

• Some people are below the impression that
  everyone gets varicose veins as they age, and
  that only older people get varicose veins.
  However, while aging makes varicose veins worse,
  not everyone will get them. Additionally, younger
  people can get varicose veins. The main cause of
  varicose veins is genetics, so if you have a
  family member with varicose veins, it is most
  likely that you will develop them. Additionally,
  hormonal elements such as pregnancy and birth
  control pills can worsen varicose veins. They
  have not anything to do with age.

3. Only Women Get Varicose Veins

• Varicose veins are more common in females
  however, men can also suffer from them. Near
  about 25 percent of women deal with varicose
  veins, while around 10 percent of men do also.
  Men must not feel dissuaded from coming into our
  vein clinic for treatment because they think of
  varicose veins as a womans issue. It is a
  health problem that both men and women need to
  address with a medical professional.

4. Varicose Veins Are Caused By Running Too
Much

• There is a perception that running causes
  varicose veins. But in reality, exercise is a
  positive thing for your veins because it gets
  your circulation going. When you walk or run, it
  makes your calf muscle pump more blood. If you
  have varicose veins and you are a runner, it is
  to your advantage to wear compression stockings
  to prevent your blood from pooling. Additionally,
  after you run, it is essential to elevate your
  legs.

5. Varicose Veins Can Always Be Seen

• While you may see varicose veins right under the
  skin, they also occur deeper in the body where
  they cannot be seen. It only depends on how your
  legs are composed. For example, if there is fatty
  tissue between your skin and muscle, you may not
  be able to see varicose veins underneath. Surface
  varicose veins are only one part of the picture.

6. Varicose Veins Are Caused By Standing All Day

• Some people think that if you have a job that
  requires you to stand all day, you are more
  likely to develop varicose veins, but this is not
  needed to be true. While people who stand all
  day, such as flight attendants, may be more
  bothered by their varicose veins, standing for a
  long time has not been proven to cause varicose
  veins. Symptoms are just more apparent if you are
  standing.

7. Theres No Point In Making Lifestyle Changes

• If you have varicose veins, there are few
  lifestyle changes you can make to ease your
  symptoms. For example, obesity makes varicose
  veins worse if you are obese, losing weight can
  help minimize the symptoms of varicose veins.
  Additionally, becoming more active can help you
  with your varicose veins because it improves your
  circulation. Other steps you can take to relieve
  the symptoms of varicose veins are wearing
  compression stockings, elevating your legs, and
  strengthening your calves.
