Dear Patient,
Your legs may get swollen if you have varicose veins because Varicose veins are associated with a condition called venous insufficiency which causes a build up of back pressure within your veins at the ankle and high pressure in those veins.

This condition can be easily diagnosed using an ultrasound scan and can often be treated by a special type of compression stockings or minimally invasive out patient procedures.
