Yes, varicose veins affect men too!
There is a myth that varicose veins conditions only affect women. Nothing further from the truth! Did you know that about 20 to 30% of men suffer from varicose veins? The unfortunate reality is that most have significant vein disease before ever seeing a doctor about it.
Vein Treatments for Men
When it comes to varicose veins, most men live by the motto: “If it ain’t broke, why fix it?” They may, indeed, have varicose veins for years with little or no symptoms. However, as the condition worsens, the warning signs worsen as well. Yet many men put up with it, until they develop complications of severe pain, bleeding or even ulcers.
For many, they may only see someone about it when it affects their work or lifestyle. The only exception is when their significant other wants them to get rid of the unsightly veins and notices they are suffering in silence. Well, not anymore!

Why do I have varicose veins?
Varicose veins can be caused by a number of factors:
- Genetics – vein disease often runs in families. There is a high chance if your parents suffered from varicose veins you will develop the condition.
- Hormonal changes – such as a rise in progesterone can impact on your body causing valve changes in your veins. This is why women often develop varicose veins during pregnancy.
- Ageing – as we age our veins age with us. Over time the valves and walls weaken and varicose veins are more likely to develop after the age of 40.
- Your occupation – jobs that involve sitting or standing all day can increase pressure in the legs which can lead to varicose veins.
- Weight – being overweight or obese is a risk factor for developing varicose veins. Increased body weight can compress the veins, which increases the pressure and strains the walls and valves.
- Trauma – significant impact to the legs can damage veins causing varicose veins.
Do varicose veins only occur on the legs?
Varicose veins are commonly found on the legs but you can get them on other parts of the body including arms and groin area.
How long do the treatments take?
Treatments take between 30mins to 2 hours depending on the treatment type. Check out our treatments pages for more detailed information.
Is there follow up after the treatment?
Yes, Dr Param will ask you to return for a review after your treatment. He will seek to review you annually to ensure the ongoing success of your treatment.
