What is Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins, most commonly seen in the legs.
They develop when the valves inside the veins do not work properly and blood begins to collect in the veins.
Symptoms may include aching, heaviness, tiredness, swelling or discomfort in the legs. Symptoms can become more noticeable after prolonged standing.
Treatment depends on the veins involved and the severity of the problem. Lifestyle measures, compression and minimally invasive procedures may be considered after proper assessment.
