We tend not to think of our veins until a problem develops. Vein problems can be attributed to spider veins, varicose veins, or other types of vascular disease. Complicated varicose veins, or chronic venous disease, can often appear like twisted, bulging red or blue ropes that can be swollen and raised above the skin surface. Varicose veins are found predominantly on the legs – backs of knees, backs of calves or the inside of the leg. During pregnancy, varicose veins can also occur in the vulva. These enlarged veins, if left untreated, may cause painful symptoms including bruising, burning, throbbing, tiredness, or heaviness in the legs – affecting quality of life for many.

Up to 50% of women and 40% of men in the United States suffer from vein disease. Varicose veins affect:

  • nearly 50% of people who are over the age of 50
  • pregnant women
  • those with occupations that require long periods of standing
  • those with a medical history of vein problems

Varicose vein symptoms can worsen over time and in severe cases, can lead to swollen ankles, skin discoloration and ulceration.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are caused by unhealthy or weakened valves inside the veins.  Vein valves can become damaged from natural stretching or weakening from the pressure of blood flowing through the veins. If the valves become weak, blood can collect in your legs and pressure builds up, causing the veins to become large, twisted and weak.   Varicose veins often appear through the skin on a person’s legs as blue, bulging and twisted veins; in some cases the veins may be raised or stand out on the surface of the skin.1
