Varicose veins are visibly swollen, twisted veins located just beneath the skin, typically appearing in the legs. These veins occur when one-way valves that keep blood flowing toward the heart become weakened.

Superficial veins, having less muscle support, are more prone to becoming varicose. Factors such as pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged standing or sitting can increase pressure on the legs or abdomen, leading to varicose veins.

If left untreated, varicose veins can progress and lead to complications such as:

• Blood clots due to stagnant blood flow.
• Increased risk of skin ulcers and bleeding.

Here are 10 signs that indicate you should see a doctor for varicose veins:

1. Persistent aching pain, especially after prolonged sitting or standing.
2. Throbbing, swelling, or cramping sensations.
3. Noticeable swelling in the leg.
4. Itchy or irritated rash.
5. Darkened skin around the affected area.
6. Tenderness under the skin, suggesting possible clots or inflammation.
7. Swollen and painful leg, indicating potential blood clots.
8. Open sores on the leg that do not heal.
9. Uncontrolled bleeding from the veins.
10. Any leg symptoms hindering daily activities.
