A diseased vein can either be seen at the skin surface or it may be deeper in the body and not visible through the skin. Paying close attention to symptoms is important in diagnosing vein disease. Many patients with vein disease experience cramping, aching, burning, itching, soreness or "tired" or "restless" legs, especially in the calf muscles. Vein disease of the legs is one of the most common medical conditions. Approximately half of the population has some form of vein disease. Vein disease can occur through family heredity (genes), pregnancy, obesity and jobs which require long periods of standing. Fortunately, we are able to diagnose and treat vein disease and patients can return to having a normal active life.
