Varicose veins are large, twisted, and bulging veins that appear near the surface of the skin, most commonly on the legs and ankles. They develop when vein valves weaken, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge over time.
Symptoms
Common symptoms include:
Aching or heaviness in the legs
Swelling around the ankles
Throbbing or burning sensation
Visible twisted or cord-like veins
Skin discoloration around the vein
