Symptoms of varicose veins on the inner thighs

In patients with varicose veins, which often occur on the inner side of the calf, dilated, tortuous veins appear. If the symptoms are severe, eczema, itching and hyperpigmentation of the skin may develop. If further aggravated, hard-to-heal ulcers and blood clots can develop. The possibility of varicose veins on the inner thighs is also present, but the incidence is relatively low compared to the calves. The incidence of varicose veins is low compared to the calf because the main trunk of the saphenous vein in the inner thigh has fewer branches and the saphenous vein trunk is within the superficial fascia, which protects the saphenous vein, making varicose veins less likely to occur. In case of varicose veins, dilated and tortuous veins can be seen on the surface of the body, which are soft to the touch, higher than the skin, and blue in color, which are the main symptoms of varicose veins in the saphenous vein of the inner thigh.
