Hidden varicose veins is the diagnosis made as a result of the examinations to be made in case of complaints such as leg pain, leg restlessness and tingling in the legs, although the patient does not have leg varicose veins when viewed from the outside.
In order to make this diagnosis, the procedure that can be done is to check the leg veins with ultrasonography doppler examination and investigate whether there is a vein with insufficiency. If the incompetent vein is detected, varicose veins can be diagnosed and the patient can be directed to early treatment.
Does Hidden Varicose Cause Pain?
It can be detected in the patient’s anamnesis and examination that occult varicose causes pain in the legs.
What Happens If Hidden Varicose Is Not Treated?
If occult varicose veins are not treated, they become more prominent and begin to be noticed by the patient. Hidden varicose veins become apparent over time and reduce the patient’s quality of life. Symptoms such as pain, night cramps, swelling and edema increase, and unless these clinical findings are eliminated, there may be a risk of pulmonary clotting, which can be life-threatening. In order not to fall into these difficult-to-treat situations, it is recommended to have your varicose treatment as early as possible.
