Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are enlarged veins. The veins most commonly affected are those in the legs. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body. 

Varicose veins and spider veins — are simply a cosmetic concern. For other people, varicose veins can cause aching pain and discomfort. Sometimes varicose veins lead to more-serious problems.

Treatment

 may involve self-care measures or procedures by your doctor to close or remove veins.
