In the intricate tapestry of our circulatory system, varicose veins emerge as a common yet often underestimated challenge. Dr. Ravul Jindal, the Director of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at Fortis Hospital Mohali, unravels the complexities surrounding varicose veins while shedding light on diverse causes and the dynamic landscape of modern treatment options.
Varicose veins, characterized by enlarged and twisted veins, can affect individuals of all ages and genders. They often manifest in the legs, causing discomfort, pain, and cosmetic concerns, and thus understanding the underlying causes is crucial for effective management.
