Varicose Veins & Venous Insufficiency

Varicose veins are enlarged or prominent veins that may cause aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, skin changes or discomfort in the legs. Some patients seek assessment because of visible veins, while others experience symptoms such as leg fatigue, ankle swelling, night cramps or skin irritation.

A private vascular consultation can help assess whether your symptoms are related to venous insufficiency and whether further ultrasound imaging or treatment planning may be appropriate.

Patients commonly seek assessment for:

Visible varicose veins

Aching, heavy or tired legs

Leg swelling or ankle swelling

Skin changes around the ankle or lower leg

Recurrent discomfort from veins

Concerns about venous insufficiency

Previous or recurrent varicose veins
