What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are a surface symptom of a deeper vein disease called chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). CVI occurs when the valves in your veins become weak or damaged, causing blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. This results in the veins becoming swollen and enlarged, leading to the appearance of varicose veins.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins can present with various symptoms, including:

• Large veins visible on the skin
• Swelling in the ankles and feet
• Pain, aching, or "heavy" legs
• Throbbing or cramping in the legs
• Itchy legs, especially around the ankles
• Discolored skin around the varicose vein
• Blackening of the skin, skin hardening, and skin ulceration in severe cases

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult Dr Kunal Arora for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Causes and Risk Factors

Varicose veins are caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins, which can be due to several factors, including:

• Family history
• Age
• Gender (women are more prone to varicose veins)
• Pregnancy
