Why Do I Have Varicose Veins — and What Can I Do About Them?

In this episode, we break down what causes varicose veins, why they appear, and what you can actually do to treat or prevent them.

Bulging, aching, swelling, or heaviness in your legs isn’t just cosmetic — varicose veins can signal deeper circulation issues. We explain the anatomy, who’s at risk, and how factors like genetics, hormones, pregnancy, or long hours of standing play a role.

You’ll learn:

  • What causes varicose veins to form 🩸
  • How they differ from spider veins 🕷️
  • Symptoms to watch beyond appearance đź‘€
  • Medical and non-medical treatment options đź’ˇ
  • When to see a doctor 🩺
  • Daily habits that can lower your risk âś…

From compression socks to laser treatments, this episode helps you understand your options and make informed choices — with guidance straight from the doctors.
