Abstract

Varicose veins are a common problem in the developed world estimated to affect up to a third of adults in the UK aged 18–64 years. They are tortuous or dilated veins in the subcutaneous tissues that rarely present as an acute emergency but bear a significant impact upon quality of life, which can be improved by surgery or in most cases effective reassurance. The key role of the GP remains to appropriately reassure patients with varicose veins and identify those that require referral for further assessment and therapy.
