Although they can occur anywhere within the body\u2019s veins, they most commonly occur in the veins in the\u00a0legs and ankles. Veins have what are known as leaflet valves, or one way valves. The purpose of these valves is to\u00a0prevent blood from flowing backwards (known as retrograde flow or reflux). If these leaflet valves fail, then the blood\u00a0flows backwards, causing the veins to build pressure and swell. The legs are most affected because the leg\u00a0muscles pump the veins to return blood to the heart against the effect of gravity.\u00a0Varicose veins can run in families, but being overweight, being pregnant or having a job where you must stand for<br \/>\nlong periods of time can lead to varicose veins. Varicose veins normally aren\u2019t serious, but they can lead to other\u00a0things and can be painful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mild symptoms include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heaviness, burning, aching, tiredness, or pain in your legs \u2013 possibly worsening over long periods of\u00a0standing<\/li>\n<li>Swelling in your feet and ankles.<\/li>\n<li>Itching over the vein.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More serious symptoms include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leg swelling.<\/li>\n<li>Swelling and calf pain after you sit or stand for long periods of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Skin changes, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Color changes.<\/li>\n<li>Dry, thinned skin.<\/li>\n<li>Inflammation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing any of these symptoms, We can examine your veins and let you know if there\u00a0are any reasons for concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Varicose Veins So what are varicose veins?
