Anyone suffering from a varicose vein problem knows that it can not only \u00a0look unsightly, but it can also be a source of pain. Swollen veins can also present as finer spider veins, which are also a cosmetic concern. Here, DR TANG TJUN YIP and DR JULIAN WONG CHI LEUNG answer questions about varicose veins causes \u2013 and treatments to get rid of them.<\/p>

How is a varicose vein different to spider veins? And what are spider and varicose veins causes?<\/h2>

A varicose vein problem presents as enlarged, swollen and twisted veins that usually appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool and the veins to stretch, leading to higher pressure in the veins in the legs, or chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Varicose veins can be blue, red or flesh-coloured and may be accompanied by symptoms such as pain, heaviness, swelling and leg cramps. While they are generally harmless, they can sometimes lead to more serious conditions, such as ulcers or blood clots<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
