Lately, you’ve been noticing that your feet are swollen, and you also see varicose veins on your legs. Since both of these problems exist in relatively the same area, you are likely wondering if they are connected.
The Short Answer
The short answer is yes; varicose veins can be the cause of your swollen feet. You may notice that your veins look and feel twisted and swollen. In many cases, you do not have to worry about this issue. It is one that causes pain and annoyance, but it often does not cause great harm to your being.
However, that is not always what happens. This combination can produce fatal consequences. You need to remain alert. You should also speak with our vascular surgeon about your varicose veins. A major reason for that is you want to make sure that is actually what they are. You could have misdiagnosed them yourself, and that is why a professional consultation with Dr. Almeida is often necessary.
When They Feel Worse
In the morning, you may notice that your feet feel completely fine. You hop out of bed, throw on your shoes and are in great shape. However, by the end of the day, your feet seem to have swollen so badly that you cannot even wear your shoes anymore. On the other hand, you may wake up in the morning with painful feet and only really feel like yourself after walking around for a while. The connection between varicose veins and swollen feet can be worse after you are in one position for a while.
Serious Issues
In many cases, the varicose veins and swollen feet remain fairly benign. However, you may feel pain to a degree that you cannot function properly. Also, a blood clot could develop in your legs. Blood clots are extremely dangerous, and they can kill you without any warning at all. That is why you do not want to ignore varicose veins and swollen feet. You must speak to a professional about them so that you know the best preventative strategies for blood clots and the like. You can also discuss methods to relieve some of the pain.
Resolution Strategies
You can opt for aesthetic procedures to remove the appearance of varicose veins on your legs if you wish. Furthermore, swollen feet generally tend to get worse after you have been sitting or standing for a long period of time. Many people sit for a large part of their day at work, and as a result, they may be more susceptible to blood clots. Make sure that you are giving yourself a break from your position.
