Men & Varicose Veins

Vein Care for Men

Vein disease is not exclusive to women; approximately one-third of patients treated for severe venous conditions are men. Men are equally at risk as women for developing serious complications like venous ulcers or blood clots if their vein issues remain untreated. Women's exposure to progesterone, especially during pregnancy, is a key explanation for the higher incidence of vein disease in women so men should be vigilant about recognizing the signs and symptoms of venous disease and seek medical treatment to prevent potential complications.
