Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that appear on the superficial surface of the skin. They are also known as varicoses or varicosities. They occur most commonly in the lower legs because activities like standing and walking exert pressure on them. These veins appear bluish, purplish, or reddish in color. Varicose veins do not cause pain in certain cases, but they are a cosmetic concern. In some other cases, they can cause pain and disrupt your regular activities. Varicose veins can be treated by conservative and surgical methods.
