Leg Veins : Spider veins : Varicose veins

Leg veins. This is a broad term that usually refers to one of two common circulation problems, spider veins and varicose veins (sometimes spelled vericose veins). See more on spider veins, varicose veins

Causes of leg veins problems:

• Prolonged periods of standing or sitting with legs crossed at the knee are the most common causes of problems in the leg veins. It is recommended to change positions regularly to keep blood circulating and sit with legs crossed at the ankles rather than the knee

• Problems with the tiny valves inside veins that regulate blood flow, or a smaller than normal number of these valves

• Hormonal deviations (such as those during pregnancy or menopause) and excessive exposure to the sun can also contribute to the formation of problem leg veins.
