Swelling in your legs or ankles isn’t something to brush off 🦵⚠️
Many people blame long days, salty meals, or aging — but medically speaking, vein issues are responsible for over 80% of chronic leg swelling in adults 🩺
When vein valves stop working properly, blood pools in the lower legs instead of flowing upward. As pressure builds, fluid leaks into surrounding tissue, causing swelling 💧
It often starts small — sock marks, evening puffiness — and slowly becomes something that never fully goes away 🧦
Left untreated, swelling can increase the risk of skin changes, infections, and even ulcers 🚨
Here’s the part many people don’t realize: swelling often appears long before visible varicose veins, making it one of the earliest warning signs of vein disease 👀
If leg swelling has become part of your daily routine, it may be time to check if your veins are doing their job. Early answers can make a big difference ✨
