Discover the Early Signs of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged and contorted veins. They can present in almost every region of the body, but they most commonly occur on the backs of legs. The presence of varicose veins can often be more than just a cosmetic problem. They can cause serious discomfort and even lead to more issues in some cases.

It’s important to note that having varicose veins is a progressive condition. Your symptoms may be early stage now, but they will likely progress into more serious symptoms, so it’s important that you seek out the right care to manage your symptoms.
