Varicose Veins

What You Should Know

Varicose Veins are enlarged, twisted veins that develop when the valves within the veins weaken or fail, allowing blood to pool rather than flow efficiently back to the heart. They most commonly appear in the legs and can be visible just beneath the surface of the skin.

While often considered a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can also cause aching, swelling, heaviness, and discomfort, especially after long periods of standing. In some cases, they may lead to more serious circulation issues if left untreated. Early evaluation and treatment can improve both comfort and vascular health.
