Vein Diseases and Conditions

Superficial Venous Reflux

Your legs are made up of a network of veins. Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to assist the return of blood back to the heart. Venous reflux disease develops when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart become damaged or diseased. This can cause blood to pool in your legs and lead to symptoms such as pain, swelling, swollen limbs, leg heaviness and fatigue, skin changes and skin ulcers, and varicose veins.

Varicose Veins

Painful, unsightly varicose veins can appear under your skin as a large (¼ inch or larger in diameter) blue ropes when you have excess pressure in the saphenous system. Varicose veins branch from the saphenous trunk veins and have more than just visible symptoms. You may feel tired, have restless legs at night (or when you sleep), pain, itching, throbbing, swelling, burning, and cramping. Some patients also report feeling a heaviness in the leg. These veins can also become clotted and cause classic phlebitis.

Spider Veins

Thread-like blood vessels seen in the skin are called spider veins. These veins, which usually branch out and enlarge, can appear anywhere on the body. Most of our patients request treatment for spider veins on the legs and face for cosmetic reasons.
