What exactly are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear blue or dark purple. They typically occur in the legs and are caused by damaged or weakened valves in the veins, leading to poor circulation and pooling of blood.
Stages of Varicose Veins
- Spider veins: You might notice small spider veins, which are tiny, thin veins close to the skin's surface.
- Visible Varicose Veins: Larger, twisted veins become visible, causing discomfort and aching.
- Edema (Swelling): Legs may swell due to increased pressure in the veins.
- Spider veins: You might notice small spider veins, which are tiny, thin veins close to the skin's surface.
- Bleeding: In severe cases, varicose veins can bleed.
- Ulcer Formation: Unhealed wounds or ulcers might develop around the ankles due to poor circulation.
