Suggest Treatment For Varicose Veins
I am a 12 year old girl. Roughly 110 pounds; and 4 11. I have some vericose veins appearing about my inner thigh area. I know that it is heriditary in my family, but my mother s hadnt started till she was about thirty years old and after two children. I was always an early bloomer, but still... I was wondering if that was a problem, or just bad luck on my part?

Varciose veins are common especially in obese woman who stands a lot. These are enlargement of legs veins due to weakened vessel wall and insufficiency of vein valves. It is usually caused by long standing, obesity and genetic factors. Such veins break easily and hematomas may occur even after minor trauma.
