Dr. Cunningham has performed thousands of minimally invasive, catheter-based, and ultrasound guided vascular procedures. Dr. Cunningham’s focus is on treating patients with varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, edema, venous stasis, and / or leg ulcers. Many of the patients that seek treatment at Trident Vein Center have suffered with leg pain for many years resulting in a very poor quality of life. Others have spent years improperly diagnosed or treated with now outdated methodologies, such as vein stripping.
In your leg, you have two sets of veins. They are called deep veins and superficial veins.
Deep veins are in the deeper part of the leg where the muscles are, and superficial veins are right under the skin.
In healthy legs, the blood would circulate from the feet towards the heart in both sets of veins.
When someone has a venous insufficiency the blood will actually go up the deep veins and then go backwards into the superficial vein.
The blood will start pooling in the superficial veins.
Since the superficial veins are closest to the skin, they will start to bulge and create varicose veins. They are often bluish or purple in color.
Spider Veins are essentially a smaller version of varicose veins. They are red, purple, and blue vessels that are also twisted and turning. They are most often seen on the legs, chest, or face.
No. Varicose veins can occur deeper in the leg, where one can’t see them. Varicose veins are classified under the spectrum of venous insufficiency disease.
Venous insufficiency disease causes leg discomfort, swelling of the ankles and leg, itching, and weariness. Other signs and symptoms may be prickling, cramping, aching, and heaviness of the lower limbs after prolonged standing.
Keep an eye out for these symptoms besides simply visible veins.
In short, no. Exercise and compression stockings may help reduce some of the symptoms of varicose veins, but usually only medical treatment can effectively get rid of a varicose vein.
Untreated varicose veins can worsen, leading to rashes, sores, bleeding, or blood clots. In rare cases, they may cause deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
