What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins can develop when small valves in the veins start becoming weak. These valves usually stop blood flowing backward through the veins, and when they are damaged blood can accumulate in the veins. This causes twisted and swollen veins that also become visible very easily.
Varicose veins can be noticeable because of their dark blue or purple appearance, sometimes they also often bulge out from underneath the skin.
