Im young with varicose veins - dangerous?!
Question:
Im young with varicose veins - dangerous?
I am 23 and have had varicose veins since I was 16 years old. I have always been top heavy (3 stones overweigt) and apparantly that can be one of the reasons why I have them. It runs from just under my groin area all the way to the side of my knee bone and is completely painless, just unsightly. I have lost a couple of stones and they are less visible as a result but I want to know whether they are dangerous or are linked to anything else that may cause me problems in later life. Thanks

I agree that these need to be looked at before they do become a problem and painful. Here is a link that tells the basics. Best wishes
