What are Varicose Veins?
Veins carry blood back to the heart. Blood is pushed along by movement of the body/muscle activity and prevented from sliding back by valves. These valves may fail due to a range of factors, causing blood to pool and veins to turn into lumpy knots. When these veins become swollen and congested, they are referred to as varicose veins.
Why treat Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are often painful and can be unsightly, but are usually not life-threatening. While some people do not have any symptoms, it is common to experience pain, a sense of heaviness, itchiness or swelling. If left untreated, they may get worse over time and can lead to more serious conditions, including inflammation and leg ulcers.
How does treatment work?
Options for treatment include compression garments, surgical removal, or sclerosing/ablative techniques such as radiofrequency ablation, laser ablation or endovenous glue.Â
