Varicose veins are enlarged veins that may cause aching, heaviness, swelling or visible changes in the legs.
When to seek an assessment
Persistent pain, skin changes, bleeding, swelling or a sore that does not heal should be discussed with a vascular specialist. Treatment is planned after examination and, when needed, venous ultrasound.
Care is individualised
Options may include observation, compression, minimally invasive procedures or surgery depending on the vein pattern and your symptoms.
