Problems Associated With Varicose Veins

People who suffer from varicose veins may not take appropriate action when it comes to treatment because they aren’t always in pain. There are those who think that varicose veins just look bad and aren’t doing any real damage to their health. However, untreated venous diseases can lead to long-term complications that do affect someone’s overall well-being. The Chicago Vein Institute specializes in helping people who suffer from different vein disorders, especially problems associated with varicose vein conditions.

Poor Circulation in the Legs

Varicose veins are a disease. The most common area to see these veins is on the legs and feet, although this disease can occasionally affect other areas of the body. It’s not just a cosmetic blemish on your skin that makes your veins stick out. The veins are having trouble circulating blood through your body, which is why your legs and feet will bother you at times.

If you notice that you feel exceptionally tired when performing daily activities or that your legs or feet throb after physical exertion, it could be a circulation problem. Vein treatments can fix the veins or remove severely damaged veins, improving circulation.

Pain and Discomfort in the Legs

Varicose veins can cause pain in the legs as blood tries to travel through the damaged blood vessels. Your legs or feet may feel warm, start to burn, swell, or feel heavy. You may even have restless legs that won’t stay still when you try to relax. Varicose veins can be the source behind all of these problems, so you can see how leaving this condition untreated can lead to a decline in your overall health. If you need to see a vein specialist in the Chicago area, we encourage you to make an appointment with our office for a consultation.
