Medical Conditions - Varicose Veins

Varicose veins generally occur in the legs and feet, which appear as significant, swollen veins due to ineffective blood flow caused by improper valve function. Treatment is only needed if there is pain and swelling. In severe cases, a varicose ulcer may form due to rupture of the veins, which requires treatment. Surgery, ligation and stripping, sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, and endovenous laser treatment are available treatment modalities.
