Varicose veins are a common condition. These swollen, twisted veins are usually visible beneath the surface of the skin on your legs, but they can be found in other parts of the body as well. Varicose veins are caused by weak or damaged valves that allow the blood to back up and pool in the veins. They’re unsightly at best, and at worst, cause pain and major complications due to poor circulation in the affected limb.
At San Diego Varicose Vein Treatment Center, we’ve helped diagnose and treat varicose veins in hundreds of patients. Cardiologist Dr. Behzad Taghizadeh is highly specialized in varicose vein treatment. Using minimally invasive procedures, he can close down the diseased blood vessels and redirect the blood through healthier veins. These procedures help eliminate the pain and other symptoms resulting from varicose veins. Not sure if you need our services?
Take a look below at the following signs and symptoms of varicose veins:
- Twisted, bulging, rope-like veins – often found on the backs of the legs
- Large, dark blue or purplish veins
- Muscle cramping and swelling in your lower legs
- Burning or throbbing pains in your legs
- Leg pain that’s exacerbated by sitting or standing for long periods
- Ankle swelling
- An achiness or heaviness in the legs
- Fatigue or restlessness in leg muscles
- Red, dry, or itchy skin – caused by the build-up of waste products
- Discolored skin around the affected area
Not everyone with varicose veins experiences these symptoms, but even those who don’t may want to seek treatment to eliminate them before problems arise.
