My mom had them, I have them, and now my daughters are getting them!. What causes them is not totally understood but some factors that predispose a person to have them include heredity; occupations that involve a lot of standing, such as nurses, beauticians, teachers, and factory workers; obesity; hormonal influences during pregnancy, puberty, and menopause; the use of birth control pills; postmenopausal hormonal replacement; a history of blood clots; conditions that cause increased pressure in the abdomen including tumors, constipation, and externally worn garments like girdles; trauma or injury to the skin; previous vein surgery; and exposure to ultraviolet rays!.
They are most common in women of child bearing age and older!. Some surgical and laser treatments are available for them, but they cannot really be cured!. These links may help!.
