Specializes in Phlebology

Varicose Veins.: Prominent varicose veins in a young person suggest a genetic component as the cause or, sometimes, trauma. You should see a vein specialist for a full venous evaluation including a venous ultrasound. This will help to determine the cause of the veins and map a possible plan of treatment.
