If you have varicose veins, it depends on the location of the varicose veins. Generally, there are varicose veins in the legs of the lower limbs, which are often called saphenous varicose veins, and the patient will have dilated and tortuous veins above the skin on the legs. Some patients will have a feeling of aching and swelling of the legs when walking for a long period of time, which will be alleviated during resting time or when the limbs are elevated. Varicose veins may present with nutritional disorders of the skin, such as itching, eczema, skin pigmentation, rupture and bleeding, and even thrombus formation within the varicose veins, which may manifest as superficial phlebitis. A serious complication is the formation of hard-to-heal ulcers, which do not disappear completely even after treatment, and can only be healed over a period of time by surgically removing the varicose veins.
