Varicose veins are twisted, bulging veins that often appear on the legs. They occur when the valves inside your blood vessels leak or malfunction. As a result, blood flows backwards and pools in your veins, causing the veins to become enlarged and varicose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any vein can become varicose, and anyone can develop varicose veins. However, women are more likely to get varicose veins due to hormonal changes that relax the blood vessel walls. Other factors that increase your risk of varicose veins include:
- Advancing age
- Family history of varicose veins
- Being overweight or obese
Additionally, people with occupations that require standing or sitting for long periods of time, like a teacher or professional driver, are more susceptible to varicose veins. Your blood doesn’t flow as well if you remain in the same position for long periods, so staying active reduces your risk.
Varicose veins are usually easy to recognize by their distinct appearance. However, varicose veins can also occur deeper beneath the skin where you can’t see them. You may have varicose veins if you experience one or more of the following symptoms.
- Heavy or tired legs
- Swelling near the ankles
- Leg pain and tenderness
- Restless legs
- Itching and burning
- Cramping and throbbing
The best way to get a diagnosis is by meeting with a varicose vein doctor. In Lancaster, Advanced Vein and Laser Center is a leading provider of vein care and treatments.
If left untreated, your varicose vein symptoms can worsen, and they may eventually lead to more serious health conditions like blood clots or venous stasis ulcers. At AVLC, Dr. Winand can diagnose your varicose veins and provide effective treatment options to restore your venous health.
