Q4. Are there particular jobs which carry a high risk of thread veins?

A4. Any job which involves standing in the one place for a long period of time or standing still for many hours is a risk factor for thread veins.

These jobs include:

• Nursing
• Retail
• Hairdressing
• Teaching
• Waitressing
• Factory/production line
• Casino dealers

There are probably a few more that could be added to this list.

If you do any one of these jobs then be aware of this risk and take steps to reduce it. Take breaks, walk around when you can and generally, move around so that you are not stood in the same position all day.
