- Worsening pain on sitting or standing for a long time
- Itching around the veins

Don’t confuse spider veins with varicose veins. Spider veins resemble varicose veins, but they’re smaller in their size. These are found in the epidermal part of the skin and are often red or blue. Spider veins generally occur on the legs with or without varicose, but can also be found on the face. They vary in size and often look like a spider’s web and hence the name.
Causes
The vascular system is a network of Arteries & Veins. Arteries carry blood away from the heart while Veins return blood from the rest of the body to the heart. To return blood to the heart, which of course is a natural process, the veins in the legs work against gravity. Muscle contractions in the lower legs act as a mini heart and pump to help blood return to the heart. The tiny valves in the veins open as blood flow toward the heart, then close to stop blood from flowing backwards. If these valves are weak or damaged, blood flows backwards and accumulates in the veins, causing the veins to stretch or twist and these are varicose veins.
The following risk factors contribute to the formation of varicose veins.
- Age
- Sex
- Pregnancy
- Family history
- Obesity
- Standing or sitting for a long time.
Ulcers, blood clotting and bleeding are some of the complications of varicose veins.
