What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear just beneath the surface of the skin, most commonly in the legs. They occur when the valves inside the veins become weakened or damaged, leading to poor blood circulation and the pooling of blood. Common symptoms include visible bulging veins, aching or throbbing in the legs, swelling, and a heavy or uncomfortable feeling. Contributing factors include genetics, aging, hormonal changes, obesity, and prolonged standing or sitting.
- Genetics: A family history of varicose veins is a significant risk factor.
- Age: As people age, veins lose elasticity, leading to valve malfunctions.
- Gender: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause make women more susceptible.
- Pregnancy: Increased blood volume and pressure on the veins during pregnancy can cause varicose veins.
- Obesity: Excess weight adds pressure to the veins.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Jobs or activities requiring long periods of standing or sitting can impede blood flow and contribute to varicose veins.

- Swelling: Particularly in the lower legs and ankles, often after long periods of standing or sitting.

- Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT): Involves inserting a laser fiber into the vein to seal it shut.
