Varicose vein disease affects 25% of women in America. These veins are not working properly, so blood pools in the legs, leading to symptoms of fatigue, heaviness, aching, restlessness, night time leg cramps and swelling.
The longer varicose veins are left untreated, especially if there is swelling of the leg, the more likely a patient is to go on to further complications like discoloration and changes in skin texture that impair healing and may need to ulceration and/or infection.
