Surgery Of The Veins
Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to assist the return of blood back to the heart. However, some individuals have weak or damaged valves causing health issues. These individuals may suffer from varicose veins, pain, swollen limbs, leg heaviness and fatigue, skin changes, and ulcers.
