Symptoms of Varicose Veins

You may have venous insufficiency and venous reflux. More than 25 million people in the United States suffer from this problem. While women are most commonly affected, men comprise about 20% of our patient population. Venous insufficiency may be associated with enlarged veins, swollen legs, skin discoloration, restless legs, muscle cramps and in extreme cases, skin ulcerations & blood clots.

Typical symptoms include:

  • Aching legs, usually worse as the day progresses
  • Throbbing along the enlarged veins where pressure increases
  • Itching at the site of skin discoloration (dermatitis)
  • Swelling of the lower leg as blood does not exit the leg normally
  • General discomfort
  • Restless legs often respond very well to varicose vein treatments
