Varicose veins are caused by twisted and enlarged veins close to the surface of the skin. They are usually not serious, but can lead to other problems. The valves in the veins ensure good blood flow. When these valves do not work properly, blood pools in the legs and pressure builds up.

Symptoms of varicose veins:

• Feeling of "burning" in the legs, pain and fatigue, more intense after prolonged standing
• Swelling in the legs and ankles
• Itching above the vein
• Dark blue color and swelling in the affected area

More serious symptoms include:

• Swelling of the legs
• Swelling and pain in the lower legs (ankles) when sitting or standing for long periods
• Open wounds or bleeding after a minor injury
• Skin changes, such as color change, dry and thin skin, inflammation, sores on the skin

Ways to manage varicose veins:

• Wear compression socks
• Elevate your feet when sitting
• Avoid long periods of standing and walk at regular intervals
• Exercise regularly
