Varicose Veins: More Than a Cosmetic Issue
Varicose veins are not only cosmetic — they may cause symptoms and complications.
Varicose veins arise from failure of the venous valves, causing congestion and symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, and pain.
Beyond the cosmetic aspect, venous insufficiency can cause skin changes and at times a venous wound.
Treatment ranges from compression stockings and lifestyle changes to minimally invasive procedures, according to the findings.
