Are Varicose Veins Cause For Concern?

• Varicose veins are rather common and usually not
  cause for concern. For many people, the twisted
  and swollen bluish or dark veins seen near the
  skin's surface only pose a cosmetic concern.
• However, if you are in pain or discomfort, this
  may suggest a more serious problem.

How Does Blood Circulation Work During Varicose
Veins?

• Blood is transported from the heart to the rest
  of the body by arteries and returned to the heart
  through veins. There are valves in your veins
  that assist in controlling how much blood returns
  to the heart.
• Inferior or damaged veins prevent appropriate
  blood flow. Pressure can increase, causing the
  veins to enlarge and the legs and feet to expand.
  There is a chance that blood clots or even ulcers
  could form over time.

Are Uncomfortable Varicose Veins Harmful?

• Varicose veins are often not harmful, but the
  longer you have them, the more issues they may
  cause. Your chance of getting pulmonary embolism
  or deep vein thrombosis may rise if you have
  varicose veins.
• When a blood clot develops in one of your body's
  deep veins, deep vein thrombosis occurs. Leg pain
  and swelling may result from it.
• Known as a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that
  separates and moves to the lungs is a medical
  emergency. This is a serious condition that has
  to be treated right now.

When To Visit The Doctor?

• Using compression tights throughout the day can
  relieve symptoms of varicose veins by increasing
  blood flow to the veins. After standing or
  walking for a while, elevating your legs might
  also aid the blood flow.
• Make an appointment with a vascular specialist to
  discuss low-risk procedures that can help relieve
  varicose veins if you try these suggestions and
  your symptoms persist.
