I'm curious about varicose veins.

Is there someone in the family with varicose veins?

The area around my ankle is swollen and looks bruised, as if it has turned blue.

The swelling hasn't gone down; it has lasted for a long time.

Although I say I'm okay, I can't help but feel sorry for the perspective of those watching nearby.

I saw varicose vein medication in TV commercials.

Does taking medicine make you feel a bit better?

Whether I need to undergo surgery...

Will there be any side effects if I undergo surgery?

I have no knowledge, so I am asking.
