Varicose Veins treatment in Cuauhtémoc

The angiologist or vascular surgeon is the specialist who studies varicose veins, those dilated and visible veins, frequently in the legs, that appear when blood has trouble flowing back to the heart.

What are they? They are veins that widen and become twisted because the valves that help blood return don't close properly, which allows it to pool.

Common symptoms: bulging veins that are bluish or purple, a sensation of heaviness or tiredness in the legs, swelling at the end of the day, and, at times, cramps.

Common causes: family history, spending a lot of time standing, being overweight, and hormonal changes all play a role.

If leg discomfort interferes with your day-to-day life or the veins change in appearance, it's worth scheduling a review with a vascular professional.
