Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the vein valves become weak and blood starts pooling in the veins, leading to swelling, pain, and visible bulging.
While varicose veins are not always dangerous, they can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic concerns if left untreated. At Medisure Surgery Care, we offer safe and advanced treatments to relieve symptoms and improve leg health.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Veins carry blood back to the heart. When the tiny one-way valves inside the veins stop working properly, blood flows backward and collects in the veins, making them swollen, blue, and twisted. This condition is known as varicose veins.
Unlike spider veins, which are small and superficial, varicose veins are deeper and can cause the skin to bulge outward.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
- Bulging, twisted, and dark purple or blue veins visible under the skin.
- Leg pain, heaviness, or an aching sensation after standing.
- Swelling in the lower legs, ankles, and feet.
- Burning, throbbing, or itching sensation over the veins.
- Muscle cramps in the legs, especially at night.
- Skin discoloration, hardening of the vein, or ulcers in severe, chronic cases.
Causes of Varicose Veins
- Prolonged standing or sitting: Gravity makes it harder for blood to move upward.
- Obesity: Excess weight puts added pressure on the leg veins.
- Pregnancy: Increased blood volume and hormonal changes can weaken vein walls.
- Aging: Natural wear and tear on vein valves over time.
- Family history: Genetics plays a major role in vein health.
- Lack of physical activity: Weak leg muscles cannot help pump blood effectively.
How Are Varicose Veins Diagnosed?
Accurate diagnosis is key to choosing the right treatment:
- Physical examination: Checking for swelling and vein sensitivity while standing.
- Doppler Ultrasound: A non-invasive test to check blood flow and identify leaky valves.
- Assessment of vein function: Mapping the affected veins for targeted treatment.
Treatment Options for Varicose Veins
Non-Surgical Treatment
- Compression stockings: Applying steady pressure to help veins move blood.
- Lifestyle changes: Weight management and elevating legs when resting.
- Exercise: Strengthening leg muscles to improve circulation.
