Varicose veins are quite common, with one in three woman and one in five men experience problems. Varicose vein symptoms can include swelling, tiredness, heavy feeling, leg fatigue, leg pain, as well as burning and itching sensations.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What causes varicose veins?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Ubuntu||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Ubuntu|600||on|||||&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; closed_toggle_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]Varicose veins are almost always associated with venous reflux. This occurs when the valves in the leg veins don\u2019t work well, and backward blood flow causes pooling in the lower leg. Without treatment, the pressure this creates may increase over time and cause additional varicose veins and symptoms. People with a family history and who are older, obese or are pregnant may be at increased risk of developing varicose veins.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Can varicose veins be prevented?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Ubuntu||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Ubuntu|600||on|||||&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; closed_toggle_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]It is unclear if varicose veins can be prevented, but certain actions may help limit the disease\u2019s progression and symptoms. Routine exercise, maintaining a normal weight, avoiding excessively long periods of standing or sitting, and the use of compression stockings may all help alleviate symptoms.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What happens if I don\u2019t treat the vein?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Ubuntu||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Ubuntu|600||on|||||&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; closed_toggle_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]If you have underlying venous disease (e.g., venous reflux), the pressure created by backflow of blood and pooling in the lower legs may create a progressive condition that only gets worse with time. This may lead to additional spider veins and varicose veins, and in some cases can lead to swelling and venous ulcers at the lower calf and ankle. Only a trained vein specialist can effectively evaluate your spider veins or varicose veins.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Won\u2019t I need that vein?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Ubuntu||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Ubuntu|600||on|||||&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; closed_toggle_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Procedures like sclerotherapy and Closure act to close down a faulty vein. The vein being closed is dysfunctional and is allowing blood to flow backwards and pool, so leaving it open only makes things worse. The body contains numerous other healthy veins that are still functional and can easily take up the additional flow. Treatment of the faulty veins almost always results in improved blood flow in the overall vein system.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What is the cost of vein treatment?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; body_font=&#8221;Ubuntu||||||||&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_level=&#8221;h2&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Ubuntu|600||on|||||&#8221; toggle_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; closed_toggle_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]Procedures like VNUS Closure\/Venefit and ambulatory phlebectomy, when shown to be medically necessary, are commonly covered by Medicare and insurance providers.
