Varicose veins affect up to 30% of 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. Up to 70% of cases are hereditary.

This category contains evidence-based articles on symptoms, causes and modern treatment options. The current standard of care is endovenous laser ablation (EVLT/EVLA) — a minimally invasive procedure with short recovery and >95% success at 5 years.

With a GP referral, work-up and treatment are free under the Danish national health insurance. Contact our clinic in Charlottenlund for a duplex ultrasound assessment.
