About Varicose Veins

Varicose Veins Are More Than a Cosmetic Concern

Varicose veins are a common condition that often appears as enlarged, twisted, rope-like veins beneath the skin of the legs. They can develop anywhere from the groin to the ankle and may become progressively more noticeable over time.

While many people think of varicose veins as primarily cosmetic, they are often a sign of an underlying circulation issue known as venous insufficiency. Left untreated, vein disease can lead to discomfort, swelling, skin changes, and other medical complications.

At Dallas Laser and Vein Center, we focus on diagnosing and treating the root cause of vein disease—not just the visible symptoms.

Facts About Varicose Veins

Varicose veins affect millions of people each year, including approximately 40% of women and 25% of men. Several factors may contribute to the development of vein disease, including:

• Genetics and family history
• Pregnancy
• Hormonal changes
• Aging
• Prolonged standing or sitting
• Obesity
• Physical trauma or injury

Over time, these factors can weaken vein walls and valves, allowing vein disease to progress.

Common Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins can cause more than visible changes in the legs. Many patients experience symptoms that interfere with daily comfort and activity levels, including:

• Aching or throbbing legs
• Swelling in the lower legs or ankles
• Heaviness or fatigue in the legs
• Burning, itching, or cramping sensations
• Restless legs
• Discomfort after long periods of standing

If your legs regularly ache, swell, or feel heavy throughout the day, vein disease may be the underlying cause.

How Varicose Veins Develop

Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body’s tissues. Veins then return oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart to be recirculated. Because leg veins must move blood upward against gravity, they rely on small one-way valves to keep blood flowing in the correct direction.

When these valves weaken or stop functioning properly, blood can begin flowing backward—a condition known as venous reflux. This causes blood to pool inside the veins, increasing pressure and leading the veins to enlarge and become varicose.

As vein disease progresses, symptoms may worsen, and additional complications can develop if left untreated.

What Are the Symptoms of Varicose Veins? Will They Get Worse?

Varicose veins can cause much more than visible changes in the legs. In addition to enlarged or twisted veins, many patients experience uncomfortable symptoms that may worsen over time if left untreated.

Common symptoms of vein disease include:

• Aching or cramping pain in the legs
• Heaviness or tiredness
• Swelling or throbbing
• Burning or tingling sensations
• Skin discoloration
• Tenderness around affected veins
• Restless or fatigued legs

At Dallas Laser and Vein Center, we help patients identify the underlying cause of these symptoms and create personalized treatment plans designed to improve both comfort and circulation.

Can Varicose Veins Become Worse Over Time?

Yes. Vein disease is typically progressive, meaning symptoms often worsen without treatment. As circulation problems continue, patients may develop more serious complications, including:

• Inflammation of the veins (phlebitis)
• Blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Skin ulcers or sores near the ankles
• Bleeding from damaged veins

If you are experiencing symptoms such as swelling, heaviness, pain, or visible varicose veins, it may be important to seek a professional vein evaluation.

Can Varicose Veins Be Prevented?

While some risk factors—such as genetics, pregnancy, and aging—cannot be controlled, certain lifestyle habits may help reduce discomfort and slow the progression of vein disease. These include:

• Exercising regularly, especially walking
• Avoiding prolonged standing
• Avoiding prolonged sitting
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Wearing compression stockings when recommended

Although these measures may help manage symptoms, they do not correct the underlying venous dysfunction. Over time, untreated varicose veins may enlarge, and symptoms such as swelling, aching, heaviness, and burning may become more noticeable.
