What Causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that usually appear in the legs and feet due to increased pressure in the veins.

When your vein valves weaken or become damaged, they can’t efficiently push blood back to the heart, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge. This condition—chronic venous insufficiency—is one of the leading causes of varicose veins. Over time, these veins become visible under the skin’s surface and may appear as blue, bulging, or cord-like. Symptoms such as aching, cramping, swelling, and skin discoloration often accompany their appearance.

Several lifestyle and genetic factors can contribute to the development of varicose veins. These include aging, being female, pregnancy, obesity, and a family history of vein disease. Hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy or menopause, can weaken vein walls. Occupations that involve standing or sitting for extended periods can also increase your risk.

How We Treat Varicose Veins

At Commonwealth Vein Center, we tailor treatment plans to address the cause and severity of your varicose veins with the latest advancements in vascular medicine.

For many patients, conservative therapies such as lifestyle changes and wearing compression stockings are the first step. These help support vein function, improve circulation, and alleviate symptoms like swelling or aching. Elevating the legs, regular movement, and maintaining a healthy weight are often part of the plan, especially for early-stage vein concerns.

Sclerotherapy involves injecting a special foam into the affected veins to collapse them, redirecting blood flow to healthier vessels. We also provide state-of-the-art treatments like VenaSeal™, which uses medical adhesive. Endovenous laser or radiofrequency ablation is another highly effective technique that delivers thermal energy inside the vein, causing it to seal shut. In cases of larger or persistent veins, a minor surgical procedure may be performed for complete removal.
