Varicose veins affect half of the people over age 50 and can start earlier, for example, following pregnancy in women. You may notice the darkened leg veins first as a cosmetic nuisance, a reason not to wear shorts. But for some people, varicose veins and related conditions can lead to significant leg pain, swelling and difficulty sleeping, along with more serious complications such as wounds, ulcers and dangerous blood clots.
The Vein Center at Taylor Regional Hospital helps provide relief and long-term solutions for venous diseases.
Physicians doing the procedures are Dr. James Watkins and Dr. Graham Englund, Board Certified general surgeons at Taylor Regional Surgical Associates.
