Varicose Vein Treatment: Options for Healthier Legs
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and feet. They occur when valves in the veins malfunction, causing blood to pool and veins to swell. While they are often considered a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can lead to discomfort, swelling, and, in some cases, serious complications.
Causes and Risk Factors
Varicose veins develop due to weakened or damaged vein valves. Factors that increase the risk include:
Age: Vein elasticity decreases with age.
Genetics: Family history of varicose veins.
Obesity: Excess weight increases pressure on leg veins.
