Vericose veins? same as varicose veins?

Are vericose veins and varicose veins the same thing? Yes, vericose veins is a misused spelling for varicose veins. But whether you spell it vericose veins, varicose veins, or you've got spider veins, you probably want them gone.

Vericose veins and varicose veins are different spellings of the same thing. That is a vein who's valve that regulates blood flow isn't functioning properly thus causing the blood to pool inside the vein resulting in an enlarged, gnarled appearance. Vericose veins are close to the skin's surface and are most commonly found in women on the legs and ankles.

Causes of vericose veins:

• Prolonged periods of standing or sitting with legs crossed at the knee are the most common causes of spider veins in the legs. 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 varicosed veins
