What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins (also called varices) are enlarged, twisted, visible veins just under the skin, most often on the thighs and lower legs. Veins wider than 4 mm are considered true varicose veins.
What causes varicose veins?
Varicose veins occur when the small valves in the veins fail to function properly. Instead of directing blood upward toward the heart, the faulty valves allow blood to pool in the lower legs. This increases pressure and causes the veins to enlarge and twist.
Are varicose veins dangerous?
No, varicose veins are not dangerous and do not cause blood clots. However, they are often hereditary and can lead to discomfort or skin changes over time if left untreated.
Common symptoms of varicose veins:
- Aching or heaviness in the legs
- Swollen ankles
- Cramping, itching, or restlessness
- Cosmetic concerns
- Skin changes or brownish discoloration
- Eczema or, in severe cases, leg ulcers
