Varicose veins are a common problem that affect both men and women. Typically, they become apparent because of the unwanted discoloration in the skin or because they are painful.
They are the result of faulty valves in the leg veins. The leg veins carry blood back to the heart. When you are sitting or standing, gravity causes the blood in the veins to flow backward toward the feet. The one-way valves in the legs prevent this from occurring. However, if the valves are not working correctly blood will flow toward the feet causing congestion in the veins. This results in painful, unsightly varicose veins.
Left untreated, varicose veins can result in poor circulation, increased pain and aching in the legs, the development of more varicose veins and ultimately skin ulceration can occur.

The superficial veins are usually a red color. They can be found on many areas of the body including the face, chest and legs. They usually do not cause symptoms but sometimes, you can experience itching, restless legs, and minor aches and pains. Spider veins can indicate the presence of a deeper more serious vein problem.
