Pelvic vein reflux: It is possible that the source of the varix in the left leg is a pelvic vein.

Compression: This isn't normal, but could be genetic. Without a thorough medical history, this is hard to evaluate. Continue to wear compression socks and exercise until you can get re-evaluated appropriately.

Yes: This kind of variation is typical. See a phlebologist or vein specialist to get these addressed. Miamibeachvein.Com or phlebology.Org for more information and referrals.
