Varicose veins are dilated and twisted veins that usually appear in the legs. They form when the valves inside the veins weaken, allowing blood to pool instead of flowing properly back to the heart. Symptoms may include pain, a feeling of heaviness, swelling, or itching around the veins.
Chronic venous insufficiency
This condition occurs when the veins have difficulty returning blood from the limbs to the heart. Eventually, this can lead to swelling, skin discoloration, or discomfort in the legs.
In these situations, veins may appear bulging, twisted, or painful, which is different from simply being visible under the skin.
Signs of poor circulation
In cases of circulatory problems, other symptoms usually appear at the same time as the venous changes. Among the warning signs are:
Persistent swelling of the legs or feet
Numbness or tingling sensations
