Six Reasons to Start Varicose Veins Treatment Now

Painful varicose veins accompanied by cramping or aching in the legs could be a sign of a more serious problem such as skin infection or blood clot. If you’re suffering from painful varicose veins that keep on worsening, this is a telltale sign that your body is at risk and you should see your doctor. In this article, we’ve highlighted some of the reasons you should start varicose veins treatment as soon as possible.
1. Bleeding
One-way valves in the veins prevent blood moving towards the heart from trickling back to the veins. If these valves are damaged or weakened, a large amount of blood will collect in the varicose veins. If your varicose vein is accidentally cut, you’ll experience a significant amount of bleeding. The only way to stop the bleeding and treat the affected veins is to see a professional for varicose veins treatment.
2. Leg Swelling
Signs of leg swelling include a feeling of pressure within the veins, a tight sensation in the skin, hardening of the skin and change in skin color. If the swelling persists, your leg may become very swollen. You should, therefore, consult with a professional to help you stop the swelling.
3. Skin Infection
If varicose veins are left untreated, a skin infection called cellulitis can occur in the legs. This is because swelling causes tissues to stretch, which leads to inflammation. To treat this, a professional can prescribe you appropriate medication.
4. Leg Ulcers 
Leg ulcers caused by varicose veins is also another reason you should consider varicose veins treatment. The symptoms of a venous leg ulcer include swelling, itching, and pain in the affected leg. These ulcers usually develop inside the leg and take more than six weeks to heal.
5. Thrombophlebitis
Varicose veins may also cause thrombophlebitis, an inflammatory condition that causes a blood clot to block one or more leg veins. The affected area becomes painful, hard and warm to touch. A professional can recommend an anti-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, to help lessen pain and inflammation.
6. Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis is also another serious medical condition that requires immediate medical attention. This condition causes the leg to become painful, red, warm and swollen. The biggest risk is that the blood clot may move to the lungs, causing a life-threatening condition known as pulmonary embolism.
