Have you noticed visible veins on your legs, spider veins, or a heavy, tired feeling that gets worse at the end of the day? Many people assume varicose veins are only a cosmetic issue or a normal part of aging, but in reality, they are a medical condition related to poor circulation that can affect both men and women.
Understanding varicose veins early is the first step to preventing complications and improving your quality of life. When left untreated, venous insufficiency can progress and lead to symptoms such as inflammation, thrombosis, skin changes, and in more advanced cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal.

Heavy or tired legs, leg pain or aching, swelling in the lower legs or ankles, burning or throbbing sensation, visible blue or purple veins, bulging or twisted veins, spider veins
