Many people are under the misconception that varicose veins are a purely cosmetic condition.

If you experience painful symptoms, then it’s worth removing the affected veins to improve your quality of life.

What Are Varicose Veins?
To understand why we experience varicose vein pain and discomfort, it’s important to know what causes them. Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, twisted veins typically found in the lower limbs. Veins are responsible for circulating oxygen-depleted blood back up towards the heart.
When certain veins can no longer circulate all the blood back towards the heart, blood begins to pool in the veins, resulting in varicose veins. These are distinctive from spider veins, which are small, fine, red and purple lines beneath the surface of the skin. Spider veins can appear on legs as well as arms, face and other areas of the body. Unlike varicose veins, painful symptoms are less frequent with spider veins.
