Should I Be Worried About My Varicose Veins?

Venous (vein) disease is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in both men and women. About 55 percent of American women and 45 percent of American men suffer from some form of venous disease. Early stages of venous disease are usually not problematic for individuals other than maybe some cosmetic concerns, but as venous disease worsens, it can become very painful and severely affect an individual's quality of life. With all of the advances in the treatment of venous disease, it can be diagnosed from the earliest stages. Early diagnosis is important because the condition can be treated easily. When it worsens, it becomes much harder to remedy. 

There are many forms of venous disease. Most people are familiar with spider veins and varicose veins. Spider veins are tiny purple or red blood vessels seen under the skin and are usually painless but can be unsightly. Spider veins often are hereditary and may be found anywhere on the body but most are commonly seen on the legs from the top of the thighs down to the ankles. Varicose veins are dilated blood vessels that bulge outward from the skin. They occur when veins are not properly returning blood from the lower leg to the heart and can be painful and limit your ability to be active. They may cause other symptoms such as itching, burning, pressure and aching that typically worsens toward the end of the day. Severe cases sometimes lead to ulceration of the skin and occasional bleeding.
