Varicose Veins

What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisting veins that are typically blue or dark purple in appearance. While for many patients they are a major cosmetic concern, they can also result in uncomfortable symptoms including pain, itching, skin discoloration, and heavy limbs.

What causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins typically form in the legs and are often a result of malfunctioning vein valves, which don’t allow your blood to flow backwards. Some factors that can worsen this condition include:

• Standing or walking for prolonged periods of time
• Pregnancy
• Genetics
• Age
• Obesity
• Hormonal changes

Are Varicose Veins Impacting Your Everyday Life? Why Early Diagnosis & Treatment is Key

Regardless of the cause, early diagnosis is key to prevent any skin damage and improve the patient’s quality of life. Varicose vein treatments will not only make your legs look and feel better but more importantly, they will prevent the problem from becoming worse.

Varicose Vein Treatment Consultation: What to Expect

Even if you don’t have symptoms today, varicose veins don’t get better on their own; in fact, without treatment, the condition will worsen. That’s why getting an evaluation of your veins is a good step for any patient who has concerns about visible veins.

If you come in for a consultation at our Calgary vein clinic, here are some things you can expect:

1. A discussion of your medical history: Our vein specialist will take your medical history, including a history of vein issues in your family.
2. A review of your symptoms: You'll be asked about any symptoms you have and any lifestyle habits that exacerbate them. 
3. An examination: This is a non-invasive physical examination that gives your specialist a better idea of your specific vein issues and concerns.
4. Diagnosis and treatment options: Your specialist will give you a diagnosis about the type of veins you have and educate you on the different treatment options available and even make recommendations on which are best suited for you.
