Varicose veins are a common condition that occurs when the veins become enlarged and twisted, usually in the legs. It can be painful and cause discomfort, as well as affect one’s physical appearance.
The primary symptom of varicose veins is the appearance of twisted, bulging veins on the legs, feet, or ankles. Other symptoms may include aching, swelling, heaviness, or cramping in the legs, especially after prolonged standing or sitting. In some cases, the skin over the affected veins may become discolored or develop sores, which can be painful and difficult to heal.
