What are Spider Veins and Varicose Veins and How are They Caused?
Spider veins are threadlike lines caused by tiny superficial veins widening in clusters. Usually there are no symptoms although some people may experience itching or mild pain. Spider veins may be inherited, caused by pregnancy, job or lifestyle when lone periods of sitting or standing are required. Underlying venous insufficiency can also cause spider veins.
Varicose veins are caused by veins becoming overfilled due to failing valves. When valves fail instead of leg muscles pumping blood towards the heart as we move then blood refluxes towards the feet and veins fill and bulge. A range of symptoms can develop due to the bulging vessels.
