Varicose Veins Disorders
Make an AppointmentVaricose Veins: Unravelling the Tangled Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear in the legs. While often considered a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can be a symptom of an underlying venous insufficiency, a condition that affects the proper flow of blood through the veins.
Understanding varicose veins and their implications is crucial for maintaining your vascular health:
- Varicose veins may cause symptoms such as pain, aching, heaviness, or a feeling of fatigue in the legs.
- Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, pregnancy, prolonged standing, and a sedentary lifestyle.
- Left untreated, varicose veins can lead to complications such as blood clots, skin ulcers, and bleeding.
Managing Varicose Veins
- Lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, leg elevation, and avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, can help alleviate symptoms.
- Compression stockings provide support to the veins, improve blood flow, and reduce discomfort.
- Medical treatments, including minimally invasive procedures like sclerotherapy or endovenous ablation, may be recommended to address the underlying venous insufficiency and improve the appearance of varicose veins.
