Varicose Veins Treatment in Bangalore at Lumina Vein & Vascular Centre

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, bluish-purple veins that appear under the skin, most often on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins fail, allowing blood to pool and cause bulging.

Varicose veins are not just cosmetic — they can cause pain, swelling, and heaviness in the legs and may lead to complications if left untreated.

At Lumina Vein & Vascular Centre, Bangalore, our Vascular Surgeon, an expert in laser varicose veins surgery, offers painless, scar-free, and minimally invasive treatments for complete and permanent relief.

Causes of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop due to venous insufficiency — when vein valves don’t function properly. Common causes include:

  • Genetics / Family History – Weak vein walls and valves
  • Prolonged Standing or Sitting – Common in teachers, nurses, and professionals
  • Ageing – Natural weakening of vein elasticity
  • Obesity – Added pressure on leg veins
  • Pregnancy – Hormonal and circulatory changes
  • Hormonal Imbalance – Estrogen and progesterone influence
  • History of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) – Previous clot damage

Why Varicose Veins Are More Common in Women?

Women are nearly twice as likely to develop varicose veins due to:

  • Hormonal effects – Estrogen and progesterone relax vein walls
  • Pregnancy – Increased blood volume and pressure
  • Contraceptives & Hormone Therapy – Affect vein valve function
  • Lifestyle – High heels, tight clothing, and less movement
