If venous disease is not treated, like many other diseases, it will continue to progress. Symptoms, including varicose veins, will worsen. The underlying issue is venous reflux, which is caused by venous insufficiency due to failure of the valvular function in the veins. Over time, this leads to worsening disease, including increased swelling, pain, and some people may even experience restless leg syndrome due to venous reflux. In addition, varicose veins may worsen and could potentially lead to skin discoloration.
