What Is It?
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that often appear in the legs due to weakened vein walls and valves. These veins can cause symptoms like aching, throbbing, and a feeling of heaviness, especially after long periods of standing or sitting. Varicose veins develop when blood pools in the veins, causing them to enlarge, and are more common with age and in individuals with family history. While typically not dangerous, they may lead to discomfort and aesthetic concerns. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, compression therapy, and minimally invasive procedures.
