Spider veins are tiny purple, red, and blue swollen vessels that appear similar to a web of twisted and thin jagged lines. They are easily noticeable through the skin and are often visible on the ankles, legs, thighs and face. It is believed that 30% – 60% of adults suffer from spider veins.
There are a wide number of factors that predispose a person to spider veins. Some of them are- heredity, history of blood clots, obesity, use of birth control pills, occupations that involve a lot of standing, such as that of hair stylists, nurses, teachers, and factory workers; hormonal changes during pregnancy, puberty, and menopause; or conditions that cause increased pressure in the abdomen, including tumors, constipation, and externally worn garments, such as girdles.
The common symptoms of spider veins include cramping, restlessness, tiredness, throbbing pain, burning sensation, heaviness or tingling in the legs. Symptoms may be worse in women, particularly during menstrual cycle or during pregnancy days. Patients even develop ulcers (deep sores), swelling, and dark or pigmented skin, mainly in the ankle region. How to get rid of spider veins? Well, it’s pretty simple.
