Varicose veins are typically surface veins that are enlarged, twisted, swollen and/or bulging. Sometimes these dilated veins may not even be visible because they can lie beneath the skin. Varicose veins are due to underlying venous reflux disease which can be progressive. This means that symptoms can worsen over time if left untreated. Symptoms Aching pain/Cramping Fatigue/Heaviness Swelling/Lymph edema Inflammation/Phlebitis Leg distortion/Itching Skin Leg Ulcers Restless leg syndrome Spontaneous bleeding Blood Clots (DVT) Treatment options include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, radio frequency ablation, venaseal, sclerotherapy and microphlebectomy. Often a combination of these modalities are used to achieve optimal results. Visit Us at: 1140 Business Center Dr #403, Houston, TX 77043.
