# Varicose Veins Rise Among Younger Indians, Doctors Report 2026-08-06T15:53:00+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Varicose veins are increasingly being seen among Indians in their 30s and 40s, according to a Times Now report. Clinical reviews estimate that about 22 million women and 11 million men aged 40 to 80 in India have the condition. Other estimates put prevalence among adult Indians at 15 to 20 percent. Age and genetics remain factors, but long commutes, desk-based work, prolonged standing, obesity and limited exercise can add to the risk. Untreated disease may cause swelling, skin discolouration and venous ulcers. The report says Avis Vascular Centre has expanded to more than 30 locations across seven states, offering minimally invasive procedures including laser treatment, radiofrequency ablation and foam sclerotherapy. It claims more than 90 percent success rates, though the report does not provide the study design or patient follow-up behind that figure. Modern treatment has increasingly replaced open vein-stripping surgery, with many procedures performed under local anaesthesia and often without an overnight stay. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: lifestyle disorders, minimally invasive treatment, varicose veins, vascular health Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/varicose-veins-rise-among-younger-indians-doctors-report/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
