Vein disease often develops when the valves inside your veins weaken and cannot move blood properly. When they do not work as they should, blood can flow backward and collect in the legs.
Vein disease can start with mild leg discomfort, swelling, heaviness, or visible veins. Over time, those symptoms may worsen and affect your comfort, mobility, and skin health. Our team at Florida Lakes Vein Center helps patients understand their vein disease. In Fort Myers, we offer nonsurgical treatment options so you can find relief.
