Whether you suffer from symptoms caused by varicose veins or just don’t like the sight of them, SLUCare vascular surgeons are available to help you look and feel better.
Large, swollen varicose veins can make people feel self-conscious about baring their legs in shorts or skirts. But they can also cause significant discomfort and put a damper on your quality of life.
“Varicose veins are not only cosmetically unappealing, but they can also be painful and affect people’s daily lives,” says Dr. Matthew Smeds, a SLUCare vascular surgeon who practices at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital. “When the end
of the day comes around and your legs are hurting and you can’t do the things you want to do, it makes you less productive.”
