And How Medical Vein Clinic Gave a Patient His Confidence Back
For many patients, varicose veins develop slowly over time. But for one San Antonio man, a childhood accident led to years of visible, unsightly, vein problems.
“When I was a kid, I wrecked my go-kart and crushed my calf. That left me with an ugly cluster of varicose veins.”
The damaged veins below his knee created a large bulging cluster–something many people with varicose veins recognize. Over time, the visible veins became a source of frustration and embarrassment.
“It looked like I had a second brain growing below my knee. I became very self-conscious.”
The Hidden Impact of Varicose Veins
While many think of varicose veins as a cosmetic issue, they’re usually a sign of underlying venous insufficiency-when the veins struggle to return blood to the heart. Left untreated, varicose veins can worsen, causing:
- Leg swelling and discomfort
- Fatigue and heaviness in the legs
- Skin discoloration or changes
- Higher risk for ulcers or more serious diseases like high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes and heart issues.
