Hello! I am a 23 year old female who works a mostly standing seasonal job and I started noticing really visible veins on my thighs and the back of my knees where they even bulge out sometime and cause a burning sensation. I consulted my personal doctor and she told me to take some medication (detralex). The veins are making me lose my confidence as I am a person who loves wearing dresses but now I don't feel comfortable wearing them anymore...are there any effective solutions to get rid of them?

Answer: Varicose veins The pictures you have shown are a clear indication of venous disease. The veins are but a sign that you should seek care from a qualified venous specialist and likely have an ultrasound to determine the extent of the disease. Venous disease is a chronic progressive disease that will put you at risk for blood clots, leg infections and sores on the legs as you age. It also causes many daily symptoms such as heaviness, swelling, pain, fatigue, restlessness to name a few. Many people, including doctors, focus on what they see and they should be asking why are they there? If you address this properly, your legs will be healthier and more beautiful. Good luck!
