A member asked:
Lately the veins in my foot and around my inner ankle get enlarged and i feel a vague pressure in them. can a 30 year old male get varicose veins? is this something that needs to be addressed immediately?

Possibly: Yes, anyone can get varicose veins from being sedentary and/or overweight. Family history can increase risk too. You should see your primary care physician soon to make sure you don't have a DVT ( vein blood clot) in that leg. If it's just varicose veins and you are overweight, then you should lose weight by being more active. Otherwise, treat by wearing compression stocking on the leg.
