Description

aricose veins are large, swollen veins that often appear on the legs and feet. They happen when the valves in the veins do not work properly, so the blood does not flow effectively. The veins rarely need treatment for health reasons, but if swelling, aching, and painful legs result, and if there is considerable discomfort, treatment is available. Varicose veins may not cause any pain. Signs you may have varicose veins include : *Veins that are dark purple or blue in color *Veins that appear twisted and bulging they are often like cords on your legs *An achy or heavy feeling in your legs *Burning, throbbing, muscle cramping and *swelling in your lower legs *Worsened pain after sitting or standing for a long time *Itching around one or more of your veins *Skin discoloration around a varicose vein
