What varicose veins look like

Varicose veins are tortuous and dilated veins, which mainly appear as blood vessels protruding from the surface of the skin, and most often occur in the lower limbs, and also in the scrotum and spermatic cord, and the esophageal veins in the stomach. Varicose veins are caused by stagnation of blood and weakness of the walls of the veins, which are mainly manifested as blood vessels protruding from the surface of the skin. Varicose veins in the lower limbs appear as greenish-purple vein bulges visible to the naked eye and may be accompanied by a feeling of heaviness, soreness and discomfort.

Varicose veins of the fundus of the stomach and esophagus may not cause significant discomfort in mild cases, but may rupture and bleed in severe cases, manifesting as vomiting of blood.
