Gym Crush: Amanda Cerny. October 12, September 16, September 7, September 2, July 20, Varicose veins are gnarled or enlarged veins that are like roads in need of repair.
A weakening of the vein wall causes the structure to collapse and blood to pool up. You're left with what looks like twisted, dark blue or purple cords on your legs or feet. In addition to the unwelcome appearance, varicose veins can cause aching pains, discomfort and more serious medical concerns.
Spider veins are more of a surface-level concern, like potholes. They're similar to varicose veins, but smaller. You can see the red, blue or purple veins under the surface of your skin. The web of twisted vessels appear most often in the legs and face due to increased pressure in the veins.
Along with the cosmetic concerns, spider veins can cause heaviness, tiredness or swelling in your legs. Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when damaged veins can't do their job, resulting in a traffic jam in your legs. The unhealthy veins are so weak, they can't fight gravity and deliver blood back to the heart. Instead of flowing up, blood starts to leak back down — going the wrong direction on a one-way street. Over time, the backed-up blood can cause pain, swelling, reddish brown skin and ulcers.
There are countless other conditions that can occur when your blood highway system is damaged or weakened. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are a result of blood clots.
