Varicose veins are swollen and enlarged veins under the surface of the skin. They may be blue or dark purple, and are often lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance.

Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs and feet, because standing and walking increases the pressure in the veins of the lower body. Varicose veins are basically the surface symptoms of a deeper, underlying vein disease known as chronic venous insufficiency.

Understanding Varicose Veins

Varicose veins develop when weakened valves in veins cause blood to pool, leading to swelling and enlargement. Symptoms include visible veins, swelling, pain, and skin changes.

What are the symptoms of varicose veins?

• Large veins that you can see on your skin.
• Swelling of your ankles and feet.
• Painful, achy, or “heavy” legs.
• Throbbing or cramping in your legs.
• Itchy legs, especially on the lower leg and ankle. This is sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as dry skin.
• Discoloured skin in the area around the varicose vein.
• Blackening of skin, skin hardening and skin ulceration along the ankle and lower leg in severe cases.

Stages of Varicose Veins

From spider veins to ulceration, varicose veins progress through stages indicating severity.
