You can do squats.: Varicose veins are due to refluxing (malfunctioning) valves usually of the saphenous system. Exercising will not not make the veins worse but then may engorge more with venous blood with straining. You should consider solving the varicose vein problem by seeing a vein specialist for a venous reflux ultrasound exam.

No problem: They should make no difference in regard to squats.
