I'm 16 but have varicose veins on both of my feet, why?

[Evan_aa]

Its really embarrassing and I exercise often so I'm fit. Why do I have these and are they affordably treatable.

My friend, who is 18 only, has the same problem. As far as I know, his doctor recommended him to wear the Mediven compression socks on a regular basis. My friend states they work!

It might be because you exercise? Lots of good blood flow... own it man. Just own it

Do they hurt when you touch them? They may not be varicose veins at all, I also have veins on my left calve that pop and my massage therapist said that they're not varicose

[Evan_aa]

They dont touch there just very prominent and out.

[PrettyBoyFloyd24]

That how mine are! And sometime they look a little gross! But if there not twisted up or anything then they're no varicose! My mom has varicose veins and she says that when you touch and pressure on them they hurt! I even asked my doctor and he said it normal it's like veins popping out of someone's forearm, some people have them others don't, nothing to worry about tho

Thank you so much

[PrettyBoyFloyd24]
