Swollen veins, commonly referred to as varicose veins, are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins that help regulate blood flow weaken or become damaged, causing blood to pool and the veins to swell. Varicose veins can appear dark blue or purple and are often raised above the surface of the skin. They are frequently caused by factors that increase pressure in the lower body, such as standing or sitting for long periods, obesity, pregnancy, or a sedentary lifestyle. Genetics, age, and gender also play a role, with women being more likely to develop varicose veins due to hormonal influences. Symptoms associated with swollen veins include aching pain, heaviness, throbbing, and swelling in the affected area. Some people may also experience itching or burning sensations around the veins. Treatment for varicose veins focuses on relieving symptoms and improving blood circulation. Conservative management includes lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight management, elevating the legs, and wearing compression stockings to help reduce swelling and discomfort. In more severe cases, medical procedures such as sclerotherapy, laser therapy, or vein stripping may be recommended to close or remove the affected veins. Endovenous thermal ablation is another minimally invasive option that uses heat to collapse and seal off varicose veins. Early intervention and lifestyle modifications can help manage symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening, improving both comfort and appearance.
