Varicose veins are more than a cosmetic problem. Vein disease, also known as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), is an incredibly common and underdiagnosed disorder in the United States.
Varicose veins affects one in every two people over 50, but even younger people can get them. Family history, pregnancy, obesity, being female, and regularly spending long periods of time standing can put you at risk.
