Understanding Spider Veins and Varicose Veins

Spider veins are clumps of red, blue, or purple lines that look like spider webs on your legs that are formed when blood pools inside a vein and branches out to form tiny blood vessels. Varicose veins are caused in the same way, except they are more serious than spider veins. They are blue or purple in color and appear swollen and enlarged. Frequently, they can have a lumpy, bulging, or twisty appearance.

If spider and varicose veins are accompanied with other symptoms, it can be a sign of Chronic Venous Insufficiency. Other symptoms include leg swelling, vein pain, restless leg syndrome, and difficulty standing or walking for too long. Chronic Venous Insufficiency is a serious condition which prevents enough blood from flowing back to the heart. Chronic Venous Insufficiency can lead to blood clots and ulcers if not taken care of early enough. It is extremely important to screen for possible Chronic Venous Insufficiency if you notice spider and varicose veins.
