Varicose veins are generally not a serious condition, though they can impact upon the quality of life of the sufferer. Fortunately, the symptoms which come with the development of the condition are treatable without surgery, but where surgical intervention is mandated, there have been significant developments in non-invasive techniques which minimize any risks associated with surgery and produce excellent results for the patient.
Vein Centers - Varicose veins are typically found on the "superficial" veins of the legs, usually seen at the back of the thigh or calf. They are known as superficial because they are close to the surface of the skin as opposed to the "deep" veins which are responsible for transferring the bulk of the blood back up to the heart from the lower limbs. Unfortunately, being so close to the surface of the leg means that they are obvious to anyone looking at them and also that symptoms such as severe itching, discoloration, skin conditions and ulcers become an issue as well as the pain and feeling of heaviness which are typical varicose vein symptoms.
