What Are Varicose Veins

Edema, the buildup of excess fluid in the body, most commonly affects the feet, ankles, and lower legs. Because this condition can have many potential complications, you shouldn’t ignore its signs and symptoms.
Pressure on your legs can lead to failure of the veins to function fully as intended. Over time this leads to chronic venous insufficiency which can cause various health issues, including a skin condition called stasis dermatitis.
For most people, varicose veins are a minor cosmetic condition associated with getting older, but in some cases, they could be a sign of deeper health problems. There are good reasons to seek treatment for each of these reasons.
