Varicose Vein in Patients Under the Age of 40
Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University
Summary
Varicose veins are a result of valvular insufficiency and presented with twisted, enlarged veins. They not only cause cosmetic concerns but also lead to limb edema, skin pigmentation/lipodermatosclerosis, and even venous ulcers. This disease affects a large percentage of the population. Although there have been several researches on the risk factors for varicose veins and the outcomes of alternative therapies , there is currently limited data focusing on varicose veins in young patients. In this case-control study, we wanted to assess the risk factors for varicose veins in patients under the age of 40, as well as their long-term results of surgery.
