Despite the common believe that people with vein problems always have varicosities, majority of patients do not have visible signs of the disease.

Instead, they suffer from tiredness, heaviness, aching pains, burning, itching, cramps and claudication. Some people have only varicose veins, while others have so-called “spider” veins. Frequently, leg swelling can be a single sign of the disease. Eventually and regardless of the type of venous disorder, the condition can lead to serious complications, including trophic ulcers, bleeding, infection and even blood clot formation.
