Healthy Vein Hints

There are several risk factors for varicose veins. These are, in no particular order:

• Family history of varicose veins
• Pregnancy
• Female gender
• Overweight
• Occupation
• Lack of exercise
• Previous history of blood clots

Ways to Decrease Your Risk for Varicose or Spider Veins

• Exercise regularly, walking 30 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week
• Avoid strenuous weight lifting with your legs
• Control your body weight
• Elevate your legs as much as possible when sitting
• Avoid standing in one position for a long period of time
• Wear compression hose or snug fitting stockings if you are going to be on your feet all day
• If you become pregnant, wear compression hose all day
• Dr. Stephanian recommends knee high compression hose, but some people prefer thigh high hose. The length of compression hose to wear depends on your comfort level.
• Try to avoid crossing your legs, kneeling or squatting for long periods of time.
