What You Need to Know About Vein Care

Varicose veins are unsightly – they appear blue and purple, twisting and bulging above the skin.  While most people think of varicose veins as a cosmetic problem, they can lead to serious health problems.  The primary cause of varicose vein disease is heredity but factors including hormones, pregnancy, prolonged standing, injury to the leg and obesity can also play a role.  Keep reading to learn more about the importance of vein care!

Vein Disease or Venous Insufficiency is a condition that refers to backwards blood flow in the legs and feet that cause veins to be impaired.  Varicose veins are enlarged veins at or close to the surface of the skin.  They may be small and spider-like or large and rope-like.  These veins are caused by a lack of good circulation in the legs.  People who suffer from vein disease usually have legs that feel tired, painful, heavy, restless, and sore.  Others may experience throbbing, leg cramps, swelling, varicose veins, and even leg ulcers. 

If left untreated for a long period of time, varicose veins can cause discomfort and even lead to serious complications.  Vein disease can be the gateway for serious health issues.  It can put you at risk for blood clots, ulcers, pulmonary embolism and sometimes worse.  For your health, it is vital that you eliminate the problem before it gets deadly.
