What Is The Cause of My Persistent Leg Pain?

Persistent leg pain is often linked to varicose veins, a condition where weak or damaged vein valves cause blood to pool in the legs, leading to aching, swelling, and heaviness. When circulation is compromised, veins become enlarged and twisted, putting pressure on surrounding tissues and nerves.

Several factors can contribute to varicose veins and vein-related leg pain:

  • Weak or Damaged Vein Valves – Faulty valves prevent blood from flowing properly, causing vein pressure to build up and leading to pain.
  • Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) – A progressive condition where poor blood flow results in swelling, cramping, and discomfort in the legs.
  • Prolonged Standing or Sitting – Jobs that require extended periods of standing or sitting can increase vein pressure, worsening symptoms.
  • Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, menopause, or hormone fluctuations can weaken vein walls, making varicose veins more likely.
  • Obesity or Excess Weight – Added pressure on the veins can slow circulation and contribute to vein enlargement and discomfort.
  • Family History of Varicose Veins – Genetics play a role, making some individuals more prone to developing vein issues.
  • Aging and Loss of Vein Elasticity – As veins lose flexibility over time, they struggle to maintain proper circulation, increasing the risk of varicose veins.

Varicose veins can be effectively treated by an experienced vascular surgeon.

Do not let the problem worsen,
or live in pain – seek help today.

FAQs About Varicose Veins

Can varicose veins go away on their own?

Varicose veins typically do not go away on their own. While some lifestyle changes, like regular exercise or elevating your legs, can alleviate symptoms, they usually don’t eliminate varicose veins. Medical treatments may be required to address the underlying issue.

What is the recovery time after varicose veins treatment?

Recovery time depends on the type of treatment performed. Minimally invasive procedures like sclerotherapy or laser therapy usually involve a short recovery period, and most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two. However, mild discomfort, bruising, or swelling may occur for a few days.

Is varicose vein treatment painful?

Most varicose vein treatments, especially minimally invasive ones like sclerotherapy or laser therapy, cause minimal discomfort. Patients may feel slight stinging or burning during the procedure, but anesthesia or numbing agents are often used to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible.

Can I exercise after varicose vein treatment?

Yes, light physical activity like walking is usually encouraged after treatment to promote blood circulation. However, you should avoid strenuous exercises, heavy lifting, or high-impact activities for a few days to a few weeks, depending on your doctor’s recommendations.

Do men get varicose veins, or is it just a women's issue?

Both men and women can develop varicose veins. While the condition is more common in women due to factors like pregnancy and hormonal changes, men are also at risk, particularly if they have a family history or certain lifestyle factors.
