Varicose veins

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and swollen veins that are visible under the skin, typically on the legs. They occur when the valves within the veins, which are responsible for preventing blood from flowing backwards, become weak or damaged. This allows blood to pool and collect in the veins, causing them to stretch and become enlarged.

Causes of Varicose Veins (Expanded)

  • Age-Related Wear and Tear
    Over time, the valves in the veins that regulate blood flow can weaken. This natural aging process allows blood to flow backward and collect in the veins, causing them to enlarge and become varicose.

  • Hormonal Influences in Women
    Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy, menopause, or menstruation, can relax vein walls, increasing the risk of varicose veins. Additionally, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or birth control pills may contribute to their development.

  • Family History
    A genetic predisposition is a significant factor. If your parents or close relatives have had varicose veins, you may inherit the tendency to develop them due to weaker vein walls or valves.

  • Obesity and Increased Pressure
    Excess body weight puts additional pressure on the veins, particularly in the lower limbs, making it more difficult for blood to flow upward against gravity.

  • Prolonged Standing or Sitting
    Jobs that require long hours of standing (e.g., retail workers, teachers, healthcare professionals) or sitting (e.g., office workers, drivers) hinder proper blood flow. This can cause blood to pool in the legs, leading to varicose veins.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

  • Aching or Heavy Legs
    People with varicose veins often experience discomfort, particularly in the lower limbs. The aching sensation or feeling of heaviness usually worsens after long periods of standing, walking, or at the end of the day when blood pools in the veins.

  • Swelling in the Ankles and Feet
    Varicose veins can cause fluid buildup in the legs, leading to noticeable swelling around the ankles and feet. This swelling is often more pronounced after standing or sitting for extended durations.

  • Burning, Throbbing, or Muscle Cramping
    Many individuals report a burning or throbbing sensation in their legs due to poor blood circulation. Muscle cramps, especially at night, are another common complaint.

  • Itching Around the Affected Veins
    The skin surrounding varicose veins may become dry and itchy. This itching can be a sign of vein irritation or the early stages of a skin condition known as venous eczema.

  • Visible, Enlarged, and Twisted Veins
    Varicose veins are typically easy to identify. They appear as swollen, dark blue or purple veins near the surface of the skin and often take on a bulging, twisted, or rope-like appearance.
