Varicose Veins: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear in the legs and feet. They are often a result of damaged or weakened valves in the veins, causing blood to pool and the veins to become enlarged. While they are often considered a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can also lead to discomfort and more serious health issues if left untreated.
