What are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are a common condition affecting many individuals, especially in the legs. These veins appear swollen, twisted, and often bulge just beneath the skin’s surface. Typically blue, purple, or red, varicose veins resemble cords and develop when weakened vein walls lead to poor blood circulation and pooling.

While some may view them as a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can cause significant discomfort and lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. Common symptoms include aching, burning, throbbing, swelling, leg cramps, itching, skin discoloration, and a heavy or tired sensation in the legs—often made worse by standing or sitting for long periods.

Do I have varicose veins?

Symptoms can vary from person to person. Some people experience leg pain, swelling, or cramping, while others may notice twisted or bulging veins, brownish skin discoloration, or even skin ulcers in more advanced cases. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s important to seek medical advice for an accurate diagnosis.

If you’re located in or near Stroudsburg and dealing with these symptoms, varicose vein treatment in Stroudsburg is readily available. A local vein specialist can assess your condition and recommend the most effective treatment to relieve your symptoms and improve your vascular health.

Vein FAQ

There are many different treatment options available for varicose veins. Treatment options vary depending on the individual’s symptoms and the severity of the veins. Some treatment options include:

  • Elevation: This involves elevating the legs above the level of the heart to help reduce swelling. Elevation works well for treating mild to moderate varicose veins.
  • Compression stockings: These are special stockings that help to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. They work by squeezing the veins to prevent the blood from pooling.
  • Sclerotherapy: This is a medical procedure that involves injecting a solution into the veins. The solution causes the veins to scar and close, which helps to improve blood flow.
  • Thermal Ablation: This is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat to destroy the veins. The heat is applied through a small catheter inserted into the varicose vein, and works to damage the vein walls.
  • Vein ligation and stripping: This is a surgical procedure that involves tying off the veins and then removing them through small incisions in the skin. This procedure is usually only recommended for severe varicose veins.

The results of treatment for varicose veins can vary depending on the individual. In some cases, the veins may disappear completely. In other cases, the veins may become less visible or may not cause any symptoms. Treatment can often help to improve the appearance of the veins and reduce the risk of complications. However, varicose veins may return even after treatment. If you are concerned about varicose veins, call MVM Health: Pain, Vein, & Wellness for an evaluation. There are many different treatment options available, and the best option for you will depend on your individual symptoms and health history. With proper treatment, you can improve the appearance of your veins and reduce the risk of complications.

Spider veins are a similar, but less serious, condition that affects smaller veins. They are often red or blue in color and can look like a spider web or tree branch. Spider veins are caused by the same factors as varicose veins, and can also lead to health problems if left untreated.

During this quick and painless procedure, laser light is used to penetrate the skin and reduce or eliminate the appearance of spider veins.
