I'm only 28 and i'm suddenly getting lots of varicose veins on my thighs. my legs frequently ache and feel bruised now. what causes these, prevention?

Damaged valves: Veins return blood to the heart and lungs for cleaning. Like fish ladders, veins have one way valves inside them every 4 to 6 cm to assist in, return to heart, flow against gravity. If one or more sets of valves becomes damaged, from clots, pressure or trauma the venous blood leaks out into small side veins and slowly develop into varicosities that you can see and feel. Ok to get checked 4 clot.

New Varicose Veins: New onset of varicose and spider veins and symptoms related to them would indicate that you should see a vein specialist for a full venous evaluation including a thorough history, physical exam and venous duplex sonogram. This combination will help to determine the diagnosis and formulate a plan of treatment.
