WHAT ARE VARICOSE VEINS?
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins commonly seen in the legs, caused by damaged valves and poor blood circulation. They are more common in women and can cause discomfort and itching. Factors like aging, hormonal changes, obesity, and genetics contribute to their development. Varicose veins can vary in severity from minor, visible “spider veins” to large, bulging veins that may cause pain and other symptoms.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
