Does crossing your legs cause varicose veins?



Does crossing your legs cause varicose veins?

Possibly.

"Some people may be more likely than others to develop varicose veins because of inherited characteristics (genetics), the aging process, or hormone changes. Varicose veins may also result from conditions that increase pressure on the leg veins, such as being overweight or pregnant or having an occupation that requires standing for long periods of time" Source(s): http://www.webmd.com/hw/skin_and_beauty/...
no
Yes if you never uncross them.
Yes, its bad for your circulation and can contribute to varicose veins.
No ive honestly never heard that before, but i have heard wearing heels more often than any other shoe does.
Yes it does. They say don't cross your legs and if you wear panty hose every day that will help to avoid them. My friend who works in a derm office told me this.
