Dr. Sunit Nema, a varicose vein surgeon in Jabalpur, explains that the early signs of varicose veins include:
1. Visible veins: Twisted, bulging veins that appear blue or purple, often resembling cords on the legs.
2. Leg discomfort: A dull ache, heaviness, or throbbing sensation, especially after prolonged standing or sitting.
3. Swelling: Mild swelling in the feet, ankles, or legs.
4. Itching: An itchy feeling around the affected veins.
5. Skin changes: Dry, discolored, or irritated skin near the veins.
6. Muscle cramps: Painful cramps, particularly at night.
7. Fatigue: A feeling of tiredness or restlessness in the legs.
Dr. Nema emphasizes that recognizing these early signs and seeking timely treatment can help prevent complications and improve overall vein health.
