CHICAGO, July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Varicose veins -- unsightly bulging veins
in the legs -- force many embarrassed sufferers to cover up, even on the
hottest summer days. While often dismissed as a cosmetic issue, varicose veins
actually can develop into serious health problems. According to a new survey,
many who suffer from varicose veins aren't aware of this and are not seeking
treatment for their condition. The survey, sponsored by Vein Clinics of
America, found that one in five people reported having varicose veins, and
half (48 percent) also experienced aching pain in the legs. Surprisingly,
most people (87 percent) reported they have never sought treatment and nearly
half (42 percent) do not consider varicose veins to be a serious health issue.
