What Causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins can have various causes, just like most other symptoms. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose varicose veins, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "varicose veins" as a symptom. Here are two possibilities:

Liver Congestion
Constipation

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

bulimia

severe allergy to chemicals

partial aspartame/neotame avoidance

severe right lumbar pain

tetracycline use

elevated liver enzymes

diminished perspiration

history of gallbladder attacks

regular unexplained nausea

slightly pale stools

positive results from coffee enemas

occasional runny nose

... and more than 30 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of varicose veins:

Cause	Probability	Status
Constipation	95%	Confirm
Liver Congestion	71%	Possible

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

In the Cardiovascular Symptoms section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about varicose veins:

Do you have varicose veins?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Minor - first signs
→ Moderate - a few, small instances
