I'm quite aware what prevention means. The argument remains that varicose veins are weak veins with bad valves. Crossing your legs does not make veins have bad valves. Crossing your legs makes people with bad venous valves build up pressure in the veins making them balloon, i.e. make them worse. You can't treat them by not crossing you legs, but if you have varicose veins you can not make them worse. Internet sites for medical information are written not to be the authority on any subject but only to make a difficult topic understandable for patients. As a physician, I would understand this. I'm not trying to get on anyone's case, just trying to dispell misinformation.
