Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, and enlarged veins, usually appearing dark purple or blue on the legs, feet, and ankles. They occur when weakened vein walls and faulty valves (venous insufficiency) cause blood to pool. Symptoms often include aching, heaviness, itching, and swelling, which may worsen after sitting or standing for long periods.
