Varicose veins are enlarged, dilated and twisted superficial veins typically in the legs.
Varicose veins areenlarged, dilated and twisted superficial veins typically in the legs, just under the skin which appear like serpingenous (like a snake) blue thick lines of veins which can be pressed upon by fingers. They decrease significantly after elevating the legs. Varicose veins usually cause few symptoms. However, few people may experience fatigue or pain in the calf region of the leg. Complications can include bleeding or superficial thrombophlebitis or development of ulcers. Due to the various physical, social, and psychological effects of varicose veins, they can negatively affect one's quality of life. Varicose veins are damaged veins found when tiny, one-way valves inside the veins weaken or are damaged. In healthy veins, these valves push blood in one direction only- back to our heart. When these valves weaken and don’t close correctly, some amount of blood flows backward towards gravity and gets accumulated in the vein. This extra blood in the vein puts pressure on the walls of the vein. With continual pressure of this backflow, the vein walls weaken and bulge over a period of time resulting in spider veins and progressively varicose veins. This causes the serpingenous appearance of veins.
Some people have a higher risk of developing these veins.
A thorough physical examination and few targeted investigations (Doppler) are necessary before planning a treatment for varicose veins. Preventive measures are practised which help prevent new varicose and spider veins but cannot get rid of existing ones. There are surgical methods available for treating varicose veins which are effective and safe.
Varicose veins condition is pretty common, affects about 30% of population and becomes more common with age and in women.
