WHAT CAUSES VEIN-RELATED LEG FATIGUE?

Tired legs often indicate venous insufficiency, where compromised vein valves struggle to return blood efficiently to the heart. This leads to: Blood pooling in leg veins Reduced circulation Muscle fatigue General leg discomfort

IS THIS A SERIOUS CONDITION?

While leg fatigue itself isn't dangerous, it often signals an underlying vein condition that can worsen over time if left untreated. Early evaluation and treatment can prevent progression to more serious vein issues. Expert Insight: Many patients are surprised to learn that their persistent leg fatigue is actually a treatable vein condition rather than just a sign of aging or overexertion.

WHO IS MOST AFFECTED?

Several factors increase your risk of developing vein-related leg fatigue: Extended periods of standing/sitting Family history of vein disease Pregnancy Hormonal changes Age over 40 Previous vein issues

WHEN SHOULD I SEEK A LEG VEIN EVALUATION?

Consider a vein consultation if you experience: Persistent leg fatigue without clear cause Tiredness that worsens through the day Symptoms that improve with elevation Associated leg heaviness or aching Regular evening leg discomfort Expert Insight: Early intervention often leads to better outcomes and can prevent the development of more serious vein conditions.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS?

Modern vein treatments can effectively address leg fatigue by treating the underlying cause: Minimally invasive procedures Little to no downtime Covered by most insurance when medically necessary Lasting symptom relief Improved quality of life
