amNewYork Highlights Dr. Sareh Rajaee’s Summer Vein-Health Guidance

NEW YORK — May, 2026.
amNewYork featured Dr. Sareh Rajaee, a board-certified vascular surgeon at Vein Treatment Clinic, in a May 2026 sponsored article about leg symptoms that often become more noticeable during the summer.
The article addresses a common misconception: spider veins and varicose veins are not always purely cosmetic. Visible veins can appear alongside heaviness, swelling, cramping, itching, aching, or fatigue and may be associated with chronic venous insufficiency when the valves inside the leg veins do not circulate blood efficiently.
Warm weather can make existing symptoms more apparent because heat causes veins to widen. For some people, that may contribute to greater swelling, aching, or leg fatigue. Summer clothing and increased activity can also make visible changes and physical discomfort harder to overlook.
amNewYork identifies several patterns worth discussing with a clinician, including discomfort that worsens later in the day or after prolonged sitting or standing, symptoms that improve with leg elevation, persistent itching, and skin discoloration near the ankles. These signs can have different causes and should not be self-diagnosed.
The article notes that movement, hydration, leg elevation, and compression may help some people manage symptoms, but these measures do not determine or correct an underlying condition. A clinical evaluation and diagnostic ultrasound, when appropriate, can help identify the cause and guide an individualized recommendation.
