What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins occur when valves inside the veins do not function effectively, allowing blood to pool within the veins. Over time, affected veins can become enlarged and visible beneath the skin.
Commonly affected areas include the legs and feet. Early evaluation can help identify the underlying venous problem and determine an appropriate treatment approach.
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly develop in the legs when blood does not flow properly through the veins. They may cause visible bulging veins, leg pain, heaviness, swelling, itching, or discomfort, especially after prolonged standing.
