Mercy Vein Center - 10012 Kennerly

The veins in your body play an important role in circulation, carrying blood from various parts of your body back to your heart. But as you age, problems can develop in your veins and cause a variety of complications. 

Venous disease refers to conditions that are either related to or caused by veins that have become diseased or abnormal. Chronic venous disease occurs when veins that aren’t working properly make it difficult for blood to make the return trip from the legs to the heart. It can cause varicose veins, leg swelling and pain or leg ulcers. 

Early symptoms may seem minor, but if left untreated, they could become more serious. It’s important for you to be aware of these symptoms, and call your doctor if you have them: 

• Feeling of swelling or heaviness in the legs
• Pain or cramps in the calves
• Skin discolorations
• Open leg wounds
