Varicose veins are accompanied by significant pain in the lower part of the leg, swelling of the veins on its surface, the appearance of areas of swelling of the skin, cramps during night sleep. Varicose veins in men tend to appear on the side of the legs and on other parts of the body: the upper limbs, the abdomen, on the testicles.

Why varicose veins are dangerous in men
The main danger of varicose veins developing in the male population is the sharp negative effects on the entire circulatory system, most likely venous pathology. Male varicose veins are also characterized by men’s lack of attention to their own health, which sometimes leads to irreversible consequences in the circulatory system. According to medical statistics, about 85-92% of cases diagnosing varicose veins in men result in more serious problems in the legs, for which this pathology is observed, and this is due to insufficient attention to their own health conditions.
Understanding the dangers of varicose veins, which develop in both male and female legs, allows you to detect minor deviations from the norm in time: the appearance of spots on the skin, swelling of the veins on the surface of the epidermis, the formation of nerve nodes, stress that causes pain. In the early stages of the pathological process, it is possible that the discomfort will be eliminated in a short time and will not have a clear negative impact on a man's health.
Causes of disease
The most common causes of varicose veins in men are as follows:
- hereditary factors- with an existing genetic predisposition to the appearance of spots with insufficient venous circulation, the risk of varicose vein expansion increases;
- presence of bad habits- smoking, alcohol abuse, drug addiction are considered the number one enemy to the circulatory system;
- insufficient physical activity,resulting in the occurrence of focal blood stasis and, as a consequence, increased vein size, which gradually loses its natural elasticity and forms a prominent knot on the surface of the skin;
- an inactive lifestylecan also cause problems with venous blood outflow.
The reasons listed for the appearance of varicose veins that develop in the legs in men may be accompanied by provoking factors. These include tight shoes, a tendency to thrombosis, the presence of congenital circulatory anomalies.
What symptoms appear in a sick person

Thus, for the early stages of the pathological process, the appearance of pain in the legs is characteristic, which increases with prolonged stay in an upright position, as well as with an inactive lifestyle, if no amount of physical activity is required. With the pathological transition to its next stage of development, the appearance of cramps is observed, which occurs in the legs especially at night, significantly worsening sleep.
Also, for later stages of varicose veins, the appearance of varicose veins from the veins on the surface of the skin, which enlarges, can be painful on palpation. The symptoms of varicose veins in men may be slightly different, but the most common are the appearance of pain in the legs, swelling of the veins on the surface of the skin, night cramps. The decline in quality of life with this increase in pathology is mainly due to symptoms, which negatively affect the patient's feelings.
