What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins, usually found in the legs, caused by malfunctioning venous valves. This condition prevents proper blood flow back to the heart, causing blood to pool in the veins. As a result, varicose veins become visible and may cause symptoms such as:
-
Pain and heaviness in the legs
-
Swelling
-
Itching
-
Night cramps
-
Skin changes

Frequently asked questions about vascular complications
What are the common symptoms of varicose veins?
Symptoms may include visible and twisted veins, leg pain or heaviness, swelling, itching around the veins, and nighttime cramps.
What risk factors increase the chances of developing varicose veins?
Risk factors include family history of vein issues, aging, pregnancy, obesity, lack of physical activity, and long periods of sitting or standing.
How are varicose veins diagnosed?
Diagnosis is made through a clinical evaluation and often a Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow in the veins.
What complications can arise if varicose veins go untreated?
Possible complications include venous ulcers, deep vein thrombosis, and skin changes such as pigmentation or hardening.
How can varicose veins be prevented?
To help prevent varicose veins, it’s recommended to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, avoid prolonged standing or sitting, elevate your legs when possible, and wear compression stockings if you’re predisposed.
Do varicose vein treatments hurt?
No. Most modern treatments like sclerotherapy, endovenous laser, or radiofrequency are minimally invasive and virtually painless. You may feel slight discomfort, but not pain. I use techniques that ensure your comfort and quick recovery.
How long is the recovery time after treatment?
It depends on the procedure, but recovery is usually quick. Many patients resume daily activities within a day or two. After sclerotherapy, for example, you can return to normal life the same day. I will guide you with aftercare instructions to ensure the best results.
Can varicose veins come back after treatment?
New varicose veins may appear over time due to genetic predisposition, pregnancy, or sedentary lifestyle. That’s why, besides treating them, I’ll teach you how to prevent recurrence with lifestyle changes, compression stockings, and regular checkups.
