Superficial vein disease is a relatively non-harmful disease that significantly affects a patient’s quality of life. Major risk factors include genetics, multiple pregnancies and a job with a lot of standing. More prevalent in females and often aggravated by poor lifestyle choices such as smoking and obesity, it’s a disease that is difficult for physicians to prevent or control.
