Varicose veins can emerge at any age and generally worsen as time goes on. They are more prevalent among women and may have both hormonal and genetic influences. Symptoms encompass aching, heaviness, throbbing, tingling, itching, warmth, and swelling. Neglecting varicose veins can result in hemosiderin deposition, atrophie blanche, stasis dermatitis, stasis ulcers, or bleeding. These issues extend beyond mere cosmetic concerns.
