Clinical information

Varicose veins are veins that become swollen and twisted. These are often found in the lower extremities. It's considered a common circulatory system issue or condition that will likely happen as people age, but it's not something to be worried about.

At most, varicose veins will cause pain and discomfort and those who value cosmetics might consider them unsightly, so they will find ways to conceal them. However, there are instances where varicose veins can lead to complications such as bleeding skin changes and even other complications, that are more severe such as swelling, ulcers, and DVT.

What causes veins to become varicose veins is weakness and damage. If our veins become weak and damaged, blood will pool in them, which causes them to grow large and twisted.

Besides age, biological sex plays a factor. Women are more likely to develop varicose veins. Obese and sedentary people are also at risk of developing them.
