Varicose vein disease can be caused by a variety of factors, however most are due to genetics. Pregnancy, medical history and lifestyle issues can also contribute to the development of the varicose veins.

While there is no cure for varicose vein disease, making small changes can limit the increase in vein outbreaks and discomfort with existing veins.

The board-certified surgeons at Carolina Vascular suggest making varying lifestyle changes to reduce the pain and discomfort associated with varicose veins.
