Most Common Causes of Purple Veins
Several main factors can contribute to their development:
-
Genetics – Heredity plays a key role. Certain genes that weaken blood vessel walls can be inherited and increase the risk.
-
Sedentary lifestyle – Sitting or standing for a long period of time reduces blood circulation, leads to blood retention and additional pressure on the veins.
-
Overweight – Excess weight puts pressure on the veins in your legs, weakening the valves and leading to problems over time.
