Are Varicose Veins Dangerous?
With their twisted, bulging, purple or blue protrusions snaking up the legs, there’s no doubt varicose veins can be unsightly. Approximately 25 percent of women in the United States struggle with these swollen vesses. The problem is not restricted to female patients; as many as 15 percent of men also experience this condition. Many choose not to consult a physician if they don’t cause significant discomfort, believing treatment to be unnecessary if their varicose veins are asymptomatic.
