Spider Veins and Varicose Veins
Spider Veins and Varicose Veins are swollen, twisted, and sometimes painful veins that have filled with an abnormal collection of blood.

What Are the Symptoms of Spider Veins and Varicose Veins?
- Fullness, heaviness, aching, and sometimes pain in the legs
- Visible, enlarged veins
- Mild swelling of ankles
- Brown discoloration of the skin at the ankles
- Skin ulcers near the ankle
What Are the Causes?
Spider Veins and Varicose Veins are the result of dysfunctional valves in the veins normally responsible for regulating blood movement. When the valves fail, blood remains in the veins causing vein enlargement, particularly in the legs. Valve dysfunction is known to occur as a result of:
- Defective valves from birth (congenitally defective valves)
- Pregnancy
- Blood clots
- Other conditions
- Standing for long periods of time
- Increased pressure to the abdomen
