Are you putting off getting your varicose veins treated? With modern treatment options that are quick and easy, there’s no reason to procrastinate any more. Here are three reasons to get rid of those veins now:
1. Embarrassing Appearance: One of the primary reasons why people choose to have their varicose veins treated is simply because they are unsightly. Many individuals feel embarrassed by these veins, so they choose to have them treated for purely cosmetic reasons.
2. Aches and Pains: In some cases, varicose veins can become painful or uncomfortable. It is very common for the skin near a varicose vein to become very dry and itchy, and excessive scratching can lead to painful sores. Some veins also become swollen and sore, making normal daily activities such as walking or standing for long periods of time painful. They may also lead to throbbing or aching.
3. Medical Complications: Although rare, varicose veins can lead to more severe complications such as blood clots or excessive bleeding upon injury, and these complications can be fatal. Over time, chronic restricted flow of blood can also lead to sores and skin ulcers that can be very painful and difficult to heal.
