Of course, many men consider varicose veins as women’s problems, affecting only those of age, and are generally not a male concern. However, approximately 56 percent of men of all ages suffer from swollen veins, and according to British research, these veins can cause “heavy leg” sensation, discoloration, bleeding, and even skin ulcers, hindering daily activity.

What causes this problem involves the veins in a person’s lower extremities. When in an erect position, the blood within the body will pool in these lower veins, expanding its walls and straining them. According to studies done by Dr. Raymond Little’s colleagues, over time, this straining will cause the vein to stop returning to their previous taut condition. According to some French researchers as well, some people with a certain genetic variation will be even more susceptible to this disorder because of weaker veins, giving them twice the risk of gaining the disorder.
When a person’s vein walls are weaker than the usual, the veins will expand and the valves which regulate blood flow in that vein won’t meet, allowing blood to flow in the opposite direction. Therefore, men should also remain wary of varicose veins and should get themselves checked for the problem.
