Varicose veins are notable for their thick, cord-like appearance. Because the blood in the veins has stopped or slowed flowing, they are often blue in color as well. This is due to the fact that blood has collected in the vein instead of flowing properly.
While many people have varicose veins that are asymptomatic, meaning they experience no symptoms other than an unsightly appearance, this is not always the case. For some, varicose veins can cause other problems.
Varicose vein symptoms include:
Inflammation
Not everyone with a case of varicose veins will experience all of these symptoms. Some actions may cause symptoms to worsen, such as standing or sitting for a long period of time. Varicose veins can also lead to blood clotting, and the dangerous condition known as deep vein thrombosis.
There is no one cause of varicose veins. Instead, there may be a number of contributing reasons why varicose veins develop. Varicose vein causes can include:
Despite common misconceptions, varicose veins can occur in both women and men. Similarly, while many people associate varicose veins with the elderly, they can begin to appear as early as age 20.
It is possible to develop varicose veins as a result of pregnancy or weight gain, as these issues put extra strain on the veins. Varicose veins occur most frequently in the leg, but can also develop in the pelvic region.
Whether for cosmetic reasons or health concerns, many people seek varicose vein treatment. There are numerous treatment options available for dealing with varicose veins. These methods vary in their effectiveness. Some methods are minor, while other options include surgery to remove the vein. Varicose vein treatments include:
Sometimes these methods may be combined with one another. Surgery is typically only used as a last resort, often the first recomondation is compression stockings.
Varicose veins pose a number of risks, from damaging self-confidence to causing pain. Thankfully, there are many varicose vein treatment options available. Request more information today: call (408) 946-9453 or contact us online.
