Varicose Vein Treatment in Oregon
Restore Comfort and Confidence in Your Legs
If you’re dealing with painful, bulging veins or leg swelling that’s getting in the way of your daily life, you’re not alone. Varicose veins are common—but they’re also highly treatable. At Oregon Vascular Specialists, we offer expert, image-guided outpatient care to treat varicose veins with less downtime and lasting relief.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins—usually in the legs—that form when vein valves weaken and allow blood to pool. Over time, this pressure causes veins to stretch and bulge. While some people notice them for cosmetic reasons, varicose veins can also lead to discomfort, swelling, and more serious vein disease if untreated.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Lifestyle and Health Factors You Can Change
- Long periods of sitting or standing
- Obesity or excess weight
- Lack of physical activity
- Smoking
Other Contributing Factors
- Aging (especially over 50)
- Family history of vein disease
- Pregnancy or hormonal changes
- Female gender
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Them
While many people think of varicose veins as cosmetic, they can progress to chronic venous insufficiency—a condition that causes skin changes, ulcers, and long-term pain. Early treatment not only improves appearance but also prevents future complications.
How We Diagnose Varicose Veins
We start with a detailed consultation and use duplex ultrasound right in our office to assess your veins. This non-invasive imaging helps us understand valve function, blood flow, and whether deeper veins are involved—so we can design the right treatment plan for you.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
- Visible, bulging blue or purple veins
- Achy, heavy, or tired legs (especially after standing)
- Swelling in the lower legs or ankles
- Burning, throbbing, or cramping
- Itching or irritation near the affected veins
- Skin discoloration or hardening over time
