Varicose veins

Varicose veins of the legs are one of the most common medical problems in adults, especially women. It is believed that about 40% of the female population over 30 years in greater or lesser extent, expressed varicose veins in the legs. The first preserved description of varicose veins dating back to ancient Greece. Since then, advances in medicine has led to the explaining of the reasons for the formation of varicose veins and the possibilities of their treatment.

How are enlarged veins formed?

Successful treatment of varicose veins requires a detailed clinical examination of the patient, which includes not only an overview of the leg veins but also complete vascular (arterial and venous) status. Furthermore, care must be taken and of any other health problems that the patient has. For example, a patient who in addition to varicose veins and has arterial insufficiency leg requires a different algorithm treatment from persons who have the proper arterial circulation in the legs.

Taking a detailed history and clinical examination is the first step on the road to adequate treatment. A further step is a detailed ultrasound (Color Doppler) which visualizes changes in the venous system and the underlying cause of varicose veins. Only after such exam treatment plan can be made.
