You or someone you know probably has varicose veins.  You know, the ugly discoloration or bulging veins on the legs?  It's a very common problem.  But, its not just a cosmetic issue.  Often times, varicose veins are a sign of a disease called venous reflux disease, a problem with blood flow back to the heart.  Untreated, venous reflux disease can lead to pain and more severe problems.

On this episode of the Perry Health Pulse podcast, general surgeon Dr. Mark Williams discusses venous reflux disease, its causes and symptoms, and how it can be treated with medical management or minimally-invasive procedures.
