Understanding Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that form when blood pools due to faulty valves. They’re most common in the legs and may appear dark blue, bulging, or rope-like.
Risk Factors for Varicose Veins
Primary Risk Factors: Family history (strongest predictor), female gender, pregnancy, age over 40, prolonged standing or sitting occupations, and obesity.
Contributing Factors: Multiple pregnancies, hormone changes (menopause, birth control pills), previous leg injuries, lack of exercise, and tight clothing that restricts circulation.
Occupational Risks: Teachers, nurses, retail workers, hairstylists, and others who stand for long periods have increased varicose vein risk.
Symptoms and Complications
Common Symptoms: Aching or heavy feeling in legs, burning or throbbing sensations, muscle cramping especially at night, swelling in lower legs and ankles, and worsening pain after sitting or standing for long periods.
Visible Signs: Bulging veins that appear twisted and rope-like, dark purple or blue coloration, and spider veins around the affected area.
Potential Complications: Without treatment, varicose veins can lead to chronic venous insufficiency, leg swelling, skin discoloration, venous ulcers, superficial blood clots (thrombophlebitis), and bleeding from injured veins.
