The right time to treat varicose veins is unique for each patient. That being said, there are indications on when one should begin to worry about their venous disease, and when the appropriate time to take action is. The bottom line is if your legs are bothering you in any way, you should get them checked out.
1. If you have symptoms
With varicose veins many individuals will experience unpleasant symptoms that can impede one’s daily life. The most common symptoms that occur are:
- Swelling
- Pain in the legs
- Redness
- Itchiness
- Achy and throbbing legs
If you are experiencing any of these troublesome symptoms we suggest that you come in for a consultation. If your venous condition is causing you to be symptomatic and affecting your life in negative ways it is a good idea to look into treatment options to alleviate your pain.
2. Cosmetic Issues
If your varicose veins are affecting your lifestyle choices due to their appearance we suggest that you take matters into your own hands and seek treatment. Many patients will refrain from wearing shorts or dresses due to the appearance of their legs. There is no reason for your varicose veins to take over your life, simply book a consultation and you can regain the confidence that was stolen from you. With the many varicose vein treatment options available it is easy to treat your legs and love their appearance once again!
3. Further Complications
If your varicose veins have led to more serious complications such as Chronic Venous
Insufficiency, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Ulcers, or Superficial Vein Thrombosis it is critical that you seek treatment for your varicose veins immediately. These venous conditions are extremely serious and require treatment as soon as they are detected. Read more about further complications of varicose veins on one of our other blogs linked here.
Ultimately, there is no set time to seek treatment for your varicose veins; however, it is important to get them checked out before they develop into more serious conditions. If your physical or mental health, or your lifestyle is affected by your varicose veins in any way we urge you to book a consultation to treat your varicose veins once and for all.
