Even as women are busy balancing their work goals and personal life, Mumbai doctors are raising concerns about the increasing number of young working women developing Varicose Veins due to prolonged standing hours, sedentary work routines, pregnancy, and frequent use of high heels. 

Women working in professions such as healthcare, teaching, hospitality, retail, aviation, and corporate sectors are increasingly reporting symptoms related to poor vein health at a younger age. Many women continue to ignore early warning signs such as leg pain, heaviness, swelling, cramps, itching, and visible blue or twisted veins, assuming them to be temporary discomfort caused by work stress or fatigue.
