Varicose veins are a unique vascular condition that, if left untreated, can also have serious health consequences, such as permanent skin damage and weeping sores around the foot and ankle. Fortunately, minimally invasive techniques have improved vein treatment options dramatically in recent years.
What are varicose veins?Varicose veins are swollen veins in which contents are stagnant or refluxing. When the valves in veins fail, blood can accumulate under pressure, engorging and distorting the veins. This can result in aching, tired, and swollen legs. These veins can also cause muscle cramps and a general restlessness in the legs.
