There are three types of veins in the legs:

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603256612967{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”]

Superficial veins, which are the ones just below the skin surface. You can often see or feel the larger superficial veins. The superficial leg veins are the ones that may develop into varicose veins.
Deep leg veins, which pass through the muscles. You cannot see or feel these.
Many small communicating (perforator) veins, which take blood from the superficial veins into the deep veins.

There are one-way valves at intervals inside the larger veins. These valves prevent blood flowing back in the wrong direction. When we stand there is quite a height of blood between the heart and legs. Gravity tends to pull the blood back down but is prevented from doing so by the vein valves and by the normal flow of blood towards the heart.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1603256695220{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1603256738425{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603256717861{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

What are varicose veins?

They are often easy to see, as they look thick and knobbly. They may be less obvious if you are overweight, as they are hidden by fatty tissue under the skin.

Other, smaller types of veins which can be noticeable are:

Reticular veins – a closely grouped network of small veins.
Thread veins, or spider veins – these look like a kind of star burst pattern on an area of the leg. They are not true varicose veins.

Which tests might I have?

If varicose veins are problematic, you will usually be referred for assessment by a doctor who is a specialist. You may have a type of ultrasound scan called a Doppler or a duplex scan. This helps to show how the blood is flowing in the veins. It can show whether any of the valves are damaged – which is useful to know when planning treatment. Occasionally, other tests are needed if the veins are complex.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1603258812819{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]

Radiofrequency ablation and endovenous laser ablation

Foam sclerotherapy

This technique is used if heat or lasers do not work. It uses a chemical mixed with air to make foam. The foam is injected into the veins, pushing the blood away and making the veins go into spasm.
