Varicose Veins treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Varicose veins, also called varices, are dilated and twisted veins, especially in the legs, that appear when the internal valves don't push blood back to the heart properly.

Common symptoms: Visible, bulging veins, a sensation of heaviness or tiredness in the legs, swelling, and sometimes burning or cramps at the end of the day.

Common causes: Family predisposition, standing or sitting for long periods, pregnancy, and changes that come with age.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist or vascular surgeon is the one who evaluates the circulation of the legs and offers guidance on the available options. If you notice discomfort or changes in the skin of the area, it's worth having a professional assess your circulation.
