Enlarged veins on the legs, commonly known as varicose veins, are swollen, twisted veins that often appear dark blue or purple through the skin. They occur when the valves within the veins, which help regulate blood flow back to the heart, become weak or damaged. This leads to blood pooling in the veins, causing them to stretch, enlarge, and bulge. Varicose veins are more common in the legs and feet due to the increased pressure from standing and walking. Common causes include genetic predisposition, prolonged periods of standing or sitting, obesity, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and age-related wear and tear on vein valves. Other contributing factors may include a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or injuries to the veins.
Treatment for enlarged veins on the legs depends on the severity of the condition and the presence of symptoms such as pain, swelling, or skin changes. Conservative management often includes lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise to improve circulation, elevating the legs to reduce pressure, and wearing compression stockings to support the veins and promote blood flow. For more severe cases, medical treatments may be necessary, including sclerotherapy, where a solution is injected into the vein to collapse it, laser therapy, which uses light to seal off the vein, or endovenous thermal ablation, which uses heat. In some cases, surgical options like vein stripping or ligation may be required to remove or tie off the affected veins. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment based on individual symptoms and vein condition.
