Varicose veins are one of the most common chronic venous conditions in adults. The condition is caused by faulty venous valves that allow blood to pool in the legs, leading to heaviness, swelling, cramps and visible twisted veins. Heredity is one of several risk factors among the causes, alongside age, pregnancy and standing work.
This category contains evidence-based articles on symptoms, causes and treatment options. If you are in health insurance group 1 and have a valid referral from your GP, the examinations and treatments covered by the clinic's public health agreement are covered by the Danish public health insurance, so you pay nothing for them yourself. Different referral, subsidy and possible co-payment rules apply to group 2. Before care begins, the clinic clarifies whether the specific service is covered by the public agreement.
