Frequently Asked Questions

No. Varicose veins can occur at any age and affect both men and women. While they are more common in women due to hormonal factors, they are also frequently observed in men. Genetic predisposition, prolonged standing, and a sedentary lifestyle are the primary factors that trigger the formation of varicose veins.

While it may not always be possible to completely prevent varicose veins, the risk can be significantly reduced. Regular exercise, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, maintaining a healthy weight, and resting the legs are the most effective methods to prevent the development of varicose veins.

Varicose veins do not go away on their own, but they can be largely eliminated with modern treatment methods. Thanks to non-surgical techniques such as laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, and sclerotherapy (foam therapy), varicose veins can be treated effectively, permanently, and comfortably.

No. Since varicose veins are not functioning properly, closing them does not negatively affect circulation. Blood flow continues through healthy veins, maintaining proper circulation.

If left untreated, varicose veins may worsen over time and lead to pain, swelling, skin changes, and even ulcers. In advanced cases, the risk of blood clots may increase. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications.
