​

  1. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically occur in the legs.

  2. They are caused by a failure of the one-way valve system in the veins.

  3. They are more common in people over the age of 50 and are more common in women than in men.

  4. Symptoms can include aching, swelling, and itching in the affected area.

  5. Risk factors for varicose veins include genetics, pregnancy, obesity, standing for long periods of time, and a sedentary lifestyle.

  6. Complications of untreated varicose veins can include skin ulcers, blood clots, and superficial thrombophlebitis (inflammation of a vein close to the surface of the skin).

  7. In some cases, varicose veins can be a sign of a more serious underlying condition, such as deep vein thrombosis or chronic venous insufficiency.

  8. Some common minimally invasive procedures for varicose veins include endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), radiofrequency closure, and sclerotherapy.
