Varicose veins develop when the valves in your veins weaken, causing blood to flow backward and pool. This pooling results in the veins swelling. It can affect anyone, certain factors can increase your risk. Aging, genetics, pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged periods of standing or sitting all contribute to the development of varicose veins.
Diagnosing varicose veins typically begins with a physical examination. Your specialist will look for visible signs of swelling, discoloration, and bulging veins. In some cases, an ultrasound may be required to assess blood flow and check for any blockages or other issues within the veins.
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that appear just beneath the skin's surface, usually on the legs.
They are caused by weakened valves in the veins, leading to blood pooling and vein enlargement.
While not usually life-threatening, untreated varicose veins can lead to complications like ulcers or blood clots.
