What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are veins that have a darker, more prominent, appearance just beneath the surface of the skin. They occur when blood collects within the vein instead of flowing smoothly back towards the heart. They are most visible in the feet and legs since blood flowing to your heart from these lower extremities has a longer distance to travel and is working against gravity.

Varicose veins are usually accompanied by some form of mild pain and discomfort. This discomfort is usually worse by the end of the day, after spending time standing on your feet.

 Varicose veins can present mildly, but in some cases, can require operation to help ease the pain. More severe cases of varicose veins are often related to a genetic predisposition.
