Am I At Risk Of Developing Spider Veins?
There are several risk factors involved in the development of spider veins. As well as being influenced by genetics, their appearance can also be brought on by pregnancy, old age, being overweight and sitting down for long periods of time on a regular basis.
Women also tend to suffer with spider veins more than men, possibly because of the role that oestrogen can play in diminishing the strength of the valves located in the veins.
