Varicosity
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Varicosity describes the presence of varicose veins, that is, dilated and twisted veins that become visible under the skin, especially in the legs. They appear when the veins have trouble returning blood to the heart.
How it presents:
- Bulging veins, bluish or greenish
- A sensation of heaviness or tiredness in the legs
- Swelling at the end of the day
Contributing factors: standing for long periods, family history, and changes in the walls of the veins usually play a role.
Which specialist treats them? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the professionals who study the veins and circulation. If the varicose veins bother you, grow, or affect your comfort when walking, having one of them assess them allows you to receive personalized guidance.
