Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that most commonly occur in the legs due to weakened or damaged valves. Patients often present with symptoms like aching, heaviness, swelling, and visible bluish veins. Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and a Doppler ultrasound to assess blood flow and valve function. Treatment options range from conservative measures like compression stockings and lifestyle changes to medical procedures such as sclerotherapy, laser therapy, or vein stripping. Early intervention can relieve symptoms, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.
