About Vein Conditions

Varicose veins are larger, bulging, rope-like veins, while spider veins are smaller, surface-level veins. Both result from faulty vein valves causing blood to pool. See our page:  Vein Conditions & Treatments

This condition occurs when vein valves or other factors prevent blood from returning properly to the heart, leading to varicose veins.  See our page to find out more:Chronic Venous Insufficiency

Common causes include heredity, aging, hormones, pregnancy, excess weight, and prolonged standing or sitting. 

While often cosmetic, symptomatic varicose veins can worsen over time, cause pain, and lead to lifestyle disruption. In rare cases, they can develop into venous insufficiency. 

Symptoms and Diagnosis

You may see bulging veins or experience symptoms like leg heaviness, fatigue, cramping, or swelling. A consultation and an ultrasound exam can confirm the diagnosis.

It's a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to examine blood flow and the condition of your veins, helping determine the best treatment plan. Find out more: Ultrasound Diagnosis
