Varicose veins are caused by increased blood pressure in the damaged valves within the veins which causes blood to pool within the veins. A gentler form more commonly known as spider veins is preferred by some for aesthetic reasons. Varicose veins are generally benign. However, some people experience discomfort and pain that may result in a more significant issue. Varicose veins have no specific cause. Risk factors include obesity, lack of exercise, leg trauma, and family history of the condition. Treatment for varicose veins may include self-care measures, compression stockings, and surgeries or procedures.
