Varicose Veins at Wound Care Hospitals
Understanding Varicose Veins Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that often appear on the legs and feet due to weakened or damaged vein valves. They can be both a cosmetic concern and a medical condition, leading to discomfort, swelling, and in some cases, serious complications such as blood clots or ulcers. At Wound Care Hospitals, we provide specialized care for varicose veins using advanced, minimally invasive treatments to relieve symptoms, improve circulation, and enhance quality of life.

What Causes Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins occur when the valves inside the veins fail to function properly, causing blood to pool and the veins to swell. Risk factors include:
- Age: Veins lose elasticity over time
- Gender: Women are more prone due to hormonal changes.
- Pregnancy: Increased blood volume and pressure on the legs.
- Obesity: Excess weight puts additional pressure on the veins.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Lack of movement impairs circulation.
- Family History: Genetic predisposition to varicose veins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - Varicose Veins Services
What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear in the legs and feet due to faulty valves in the veins that prevent proper blood flow. They may cause discomfort, swelling, and other symptoms.
What are the symptoms of varicose veins?
Symptoms include visible, bulging veins, leg pain, aching or cramping, swelling, heaviness, itching, and skin changes such as discoloration or hardening around the affected veins.
How are varicose veins diagnosed?
Varicose veins are diagnosed through a physical examination and imaging tests such as Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow and determine the severity of venous insufficiency.
What is sclerotherapy, and how does it work?
Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution into varicose veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time. It’s an effective treatment for small to medium-sized veins and spider veins.
