What Is Vein Disease?
Vein disease is more than a cosmetic issue. Too much pressure in the vein valves causes blood to flow backwards and pool in the legs, resulting in unsightly varicose veins. Symptoms include heavy, aching legs, restlessness and swelling. If left untreated, vein disease can lead to further health complications, such as blood clots and skin ulcers.
Spider veins are small, superficial veins that occur in discolored clusters on the legs and ankles. While they are considered a cosmetic issue, spider veins may develop into varicose veins if you are at increased risk. Factors that lead to varicose vein disease include heredity, pregnancy, age and obesity.
