Varicose Veins
People affected by varicose veins may
experience physical discomfort and also find the condition
restricts their lifestyle via choice of clothing and
activities.
As the varicose vein develops physical
symptoms include heaviness, pain, itching and swelling. Varicose
veins affect up to 30% of women and 20% of men in the UK. Causes
vary from genetic disposition to the female hormonal cycle. Left
untreated varicose veins can lead to venous ulceration and
secondary complications.
