5. 10 Ways Jobs Cause Varicose
Veins

6. #1 Prolonged
Sitting
∙ Issue: Desk jobs often involve long periods of sitting without much movement.
∙ Impact: Continuous sitting can lead to poor blood circulation, especially in the legs,
making it harder for veins to pump blood back to the heart.

7. #2 Reduced Muscle
Contractions
∙ Issue: Sitting for extended periods reduces the frequency of muscle contractions
in the legs.
∙ Impact: Muscle contractions play a crucial role in helping blood flow through veins.
Reduced movement contributes to the pooling of blood in the lower extremities.

8. #3 Increased Pressure on
Veins
∙ Issue: Bending the legs at the knees for sitting can increase the pressure on the
veins.
∙ Impact: Elevated pressure can hinder the normal functioning of veins, potentially
leading to their dilation and the development of varicose veins.

9. #4 Lack of Leg
Elevation
∙ Issue: Most desk jobs involve sitting in a chair and don’t encourage employees to
stretch or wind down.
∙ Impact: The absence of leg elevation makes it challenging for blood to flow against
gravity, contributing to the strain on the veins.

10. #5 Sedentary
Lifestyle
∙ Issue: Desk jobs are often associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
∙ Impact: Lack of physical activity can lead to weight gain and overall poor
cardiovascular health, further increasing the risk of varicose veins.

11. #6 Constrictive
Clothing
∙ Issue: Office attire is sometimes too tight at the waist and parts of the leg, which
can restrict blood flow.
∙ Impact: Constriction impedes the natural circulation of blood, potentially
contributing to the development of varicose veins.

12. #7 Poor
Ergonomics
∙ Issue: Improper desk and chair setup can lead to poor posture.
∙ Impact: Poor posture affects blood flow and can increase pressure on veins,
potentially exacerbating varicose vein risks.

13. #8 High Stress
Levels
∙ Issue: Desk jobs often come with high levels of stress.
∙ Impact: Chronic stress has a direct impact on blood pressure. The narrowing of
blood vessels can exacerbate varicose veins symptoms.

14. #9
Dehydration
∙ Issue: Individuals may forget to stay adequately hydrated during desk work.
∙ Impact: Dehydration makes the blood thicker, making it harder for veins to
circulate blood.

15. #10 Genetic
Factors
∙ Issue: Predisposition to varicose veins is often hereditary.
∙ Impact: Genetic predisposition to varicose veins can increase the speed of venous
damage at work.

17. Reducing the Impact of Job-Related Varicose
Veins
Losing weight will put less pressure on the your legs and its veins.
Regular movement throughout the day improves blood circulation.
It’s important to take a short walk at least every other hour.
Elevating legs when possible is another way to circulate the blood in
the legs quickly.

18. Why Get Treatment for Varicose
Veins?
∙ Varicose veins is a progressive disease.
∙ Losing weight and improving blood circulation
will only provide temporary relief from symptoms.
∙ For long-term relief, most doctors recommend
non-surgical treatments like EVLA.
