You may experience burning, tingling, numbness and\/or itchy feeling in your leg. If it is ignored then it can lead to more serious issues.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Mulish; font-size: 12pt;\">Consulting a doctor at this stage is advisable, since treating varicose veins at this stage can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medfin.in\/blog\/general-surgeries\/varicose-veins\/how-to-prevent-varicose-veins\/\">prevent varicose veins<\/a> surgery.

This stage where leg swells is called Edema. Keeping legs at an elevated position might help with swelling.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Mulish; font-size: 12pt;\">By consulting a doctor at this stage will help you <strong>prevent surgery.<\/strong> The doctor might prescribe medicines and varicose veins compression stockings,<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Mulish; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Skin Discoloration <span style=\"color: #222222;\"><strong>(Stage 3)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Mulish; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\">At this stage, you will start to see changes in skin colour. The skin may also become thinner and discoloured to reddish-brown or whitish in colour.

It is one-day procedure with minimal recovery time. The best thing is patients can go back home on the same day as surgery and return to their job the next day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Mulish; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Ulcers (Stage 4)<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Mulish; font-size: 12pt;\">This is the final stage of varicose veins.
