Don't hide the problem. Take care of your legs in autumn and winter

Preventive measures against varicose veins are crucial, especially in Poland where treatment often begins in cooler months. Patients must undergo tests like Doppler ultrasound to assess vein conditions before any surgical intervention. Varicose veins can lead to serious complications, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Genetic predisposition is a significant factor in developing varicose veins, but lifestyle choices such as prolonged sitting, standing, and obesity also contribute to their formation.
