Symptoms

The most common symptoms are feeling of heaviness and tiredness in the legs, especially after long days of work and often associated with some legs swelling.

Varicose veins reflect more serious conditions of the disease. In general, the larger the varicose vein, the more serious the problem. Long existing varicose veins and thrombosis invariably lead to skin lesions, which, at the worst, will end up in an ulcer. Therefore, an early diagnosis is essential in order to prevent a bad outcome of venous disease.
