What can increase varicose-vein risk?

Recognized factors include family history, increasing age, pregnancy, overweight or obesity, an inactive lifestyle, and repeated long periods of sitting or standing. Previous blood clots or vein scarring can also damage valves.

A score is not a diagnosis

This assessment groups common factors for education. It has not been clinically validated and cannot predict whether you will develop varicose veins.

Do not rely on a risk score for urgent symptoms

Seek prompt medical advice for bleeding, a sore, significant skin color change, sudden worsening, or a vein that becomes swollen, red, warm, or very tender. Emergency symptoms such as chest pain or trouble breathing require emergency care.
