Venous reflux disease is a very common condition that is caused by faulty valves in normal veins in the legs. When these valves fail, the veins dilate, eventually becoming varicose veins. Approximately 25 million Americans suffer from venous reflux disease, which is not limited to unsightly varicose veins.

There is a broad spectrum of venous disease ranging from spider veins to varicose veins. Millions of women are bothered by spider veins - those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue, or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves, and ankles. Although these super-fine veins are connected with the larger venous system, they are not an essential part of it.

Varicose veins are large, often painful dilated veins under the skin. Varicose veins can become enlarged and in some cases quite prominent. They can be seen in some individuals as raised lumps in the thigh, legs and calves. If you experience bulging leg veins, restless legs, pain, discomfort, swelling, itching, or discoloration in your legs, you may have varicose veins. Treatment of varicose veins is typically more involved, but still minimally invasive.
