Examples of early and common symptoms include:
- Tired, aching legs
- Swollen feet and ankles
- A feeling of heaviness in the legs (especially after prolonged standing)
Varicose veins reflect a more serious condition of venous disease. In general, the larger the varicose vein, the more serious the problem. Long-existing varicose veins and thrombosis often lead to skin lesions, which could ultimately become an ulcer. Therefore, an early diagnosis is essential in preventing the progression of venous disease.
