These are few symptoms of Varicose Veins:

• Dark blue veins.
• Twisted Veins on Legs.
• Heavy Feeling in legs.
• Itching of Veins.

• Obesity is one of the main reasons for varicose veins as heavy weight puts a high load on the legs.
• Age. Aging causes wear and tear on the valves in the veins that help control blood flow. Eventually, that wear causes the valves to allow some blood to flow back into the veins, where it collects.
• Pregnancy. During pregnancy, the blood volume in the body increases. This change supports the growing baby but can also enlarge the veins in the legs.
• Standing or sitting for long periods of time. Movement helps blood flow.

Some of the complications of Varicose Veins are:

• Bleeding: The veins may burst and its can cause bleeding.
• Occasionally, veins deep within the legs become enlarged and might cause leg pain and swelling.
• Painful ulcers can form on the skin near varicose veins, particularly near the ankles.

Endovenous laser varicose vein surgery is a procedure that uses heat from a laser to reduce varicose veins. Varicose veins are swollen, bulging veins that often happen on the thighs or calves. A laser is a device that sends a thin beam of radiation in the form of light.

LASER surgery causes the veins to shrink and causes scar tissue within the vessel. This seals off the vein. Blood then flows through other nearby veins instead.
