What are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are abnormally enlarged superficial veins that most commonly appear in the legs. They often appear as purple or blue twisting, bulging vessels that rise above the surface of the skin. Healthy leg veins contain one-way valves that allow the transportation of blood back to the heart, while varicose veins have leaky valves that no longer function properly.

As many as 50 million adults in the United States are affected by varicose veins or vein disease. Having varicose veins could be a sign of a more serious underlying health problem, so you should seek varicose vein treatment immediately.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Several preventable and unpreventable factors contribute to the formation of varicose veins. The main causes of varicose veins include:

Heredity
Age
Prolonged Standing or Sitting
Pregnancy

Hormonal Imbalances
Leg Trauma
Weight Fluctuations
Obesity

Signs and Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are commonly found on the inside of the legs and back of the calves, although they can form anywhere on the legs from the groin to the ankles. These damaged veins can be both unsightly and painful. Varicose veins often present themselves with the following symptoms:

Achy, Tired, or Heavy Feeling Legs

Burning or Throbbing Legs

Leg Muscle Cramps

Swollen Legs or Ankles

Bulging, “Ropey” Looking Leg Veins

Thickened and Darkened Leg Skin

Restless Legs Syndrome

Left untreated, varicose veins could lead to serious medical conditions such as ulcers or blood clots, also known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). That’s why it’s so important to schedule an appointment with Vein Specialists to determine whether vein evaluation and treatment is appropriate for you.
