How Common Are Varicose Veins?



Varicose veins are one of the most common venous conditions. Around 30% of women and 15% of men are affected. The biggest single risk factor is heredity — veins often run in families, and many patients will have relatives with the same condition. Although varicose veins are more frequent in older people, they often cause the greatest problems in younger, active individuals, where they may interfere with work, sport, and leisure activities.



Why Do Veins Become Varicose?



Doctors know that varicose veins develop due to failure of the one‑way valves in the leg veins. These valves normally allow blood to flow back to the heart. When they fail, blood pools in the veins, causing them to stretch, swell, and twist into the rope‑like appearance typical of varicose veins.



Varicose Vein Treatment FAQs



Which varicose vein treatment is best?


The best treatment depends on vein size and patient preference. EVLT and Radiofrequency are often recommended for larger veins, while Foam Sclerotherapy is effective for medium veins. A consultation ensures the most appropriate choice.



Is treatment painful?


Modern treatments are minimally invasive. Local anaesthetic ensures procedures are well tolerated, with most patients reporting only mild discomfort.



How long is recovery?


Recovery is rapid. Most patients walk immediately after treatment and return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.



Are results permanent?


Treated veins do not return, but new varicose veins can develop over time. Regular follow‑up helps maintain long‑term results.
