VARICOSE VEINS : IT’S NOT JUST A COSMETIC CONCERN, IT IS AN PROGRESSIVE DISEASE

 

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any vein that is close to the skin's surface can become varicose. Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. That's because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins of the lower body Treatment might involve self-care measures or procedures done by a health care provider to close or remove veins.

 Symptoms

  • An achy or heavy feeling in your legs
  • Burning, throbbing, muscle cramping, and swelling in your lower legs
  • Worsened pain after standing or sitting for a longer time
  • Itching around one or more than one of the veins
