Varicose veins are common and may not cause serious problems in many people. However, some individuals experience persistent symptoms or develop complications, so medical assessment may be appropriate depending on the symptoms and clinical findings.
Varicose veins may cause aching, heaviness, tenderness, itching, swelling or discomfort in the legs. Although these symptoms are often manageable, persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
Varicose veins can sometimes be associated with complications such as superficial vein inflammation or thrombosis, skin changes, bleeding, venous ulcers and, in some circumstances, deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Seek medical advice if you notice worsening swelling, skin changes or persistent pain. Sudden leg swelling or pain, particularly on one side, requires urgent medical assessment. Chest pain or sudden breathlessness may indicate a medical emergency and requires immediate emergency care.
Varicose vein treatment depends on symptoms, the severity of the condition and the findings of a clinical assessment. Management options may include lifestyle measures, compression therapy when appropriate, or procedures such as endovenous ablation and other minimally invasive treatments for selected patients. Citi Vascular Centre provides consultations to help patients understand their condition and discuss suitable management options with a qualified specialist.
