Who is likely to get varicose veins?

Anyone can develop varicose veins. Certain factors increase your chances of developing varicose veins, including:

  • Age: Because of the aging process, vein walls and valves don’t work as well as they once did. Veins lose elasticity and stiffen.
  • Gender: Female hormones can allow the walls of the veins to stretch. People who are pregnant, taking the birth control pill or going through menopause have a higher risk of varicose veins because of changes in hormone levels.
  • Family history: This condition can be inherited (runs in families).
  • Lifestyle: Standing or sitting for long periods decreases circulation. Wearing restrictive clothing, such as girdles or pants with tight waistbands can decrease blood flow.
  • Overall health: Certain health conditions, such as severe constipation or certain tumors, increase pressure in the veins.
  • Tobacco use: People who use tobacco products are more likely to develop varicose veins.
  • Weight: Excess weight puts pressure on blood vessels.

Symptoms of varicose veins

The most recognizable sign of varicose veins is a gnarled, blue or purple vein just under your skin’s surface. Symptoms include:

  • Bulging veins: Twisted, swollen, rope-like veins are often blue or purple. They appear just below the surface of the skin on your legs, ankles and feet. They can develop in clusters. Tiny red or blue lines (spider veins) may appear nearby.
  • Heavy legs: Muscles in your legs may feel tired, heavy or sluggish, especially after physical activity.
  • Itching: The area around varicose veins may itch.
  • Pain: Legs may be painful, achy or sore, especially behind your knees. You might have muscle cramps.
  • Swelling: Your legs, ankles and feet can swell and throb.
  • Skin discolorations and ulcers: If left untreated, varicose veins can cause brown discolorations on your skin. Severe varicose veins can cause venous ulcers (sores) on your skin.

How are varicose veins diagnosed?

Varicose veins are close to the surface of your skin and easy to see. Healthcare providers can diagnose the condition during a physical examination. They’ll feel your veins and examine them while you’re sitting and standing.

To see detailed images of your veins and check for complications, your provider may recommend an ultrasound. This safe, painless test uses sound waves to produce pictures of tissues inside your body. Ultrasounds can show blood clots and how your valves are working.
