How Varicose Vein Impacts Your Feet?

Feet Varicose Veins
  • Varicose veins or Corona Phlebectasia appear
    around the ankle or foot. Varicose veins or
    spider veins affect the feet, thigh and calves.
    Veins in the feet contain valves that lose their
    function over time. As the valves lose function
    the blood backs up in the veins, stretching the
    veins and further leading to varicose veins.
  • It is a cluster of veins at the ankle and foot
    creating an appearance of a blue foot. It is a
    sign of advanced vein disease and often indicates
    failed valves in the great saphenous vein, one of
    the several veins that drain the surface of your
    legs.
  • Spider veins are deceptively considered as a
    cosmetic issue. On the contrary, the presence of
    corona phlebectasia is a clinical sign. It is
    associated with venous reflux, mostly saphenous
    vein reflux, but the deep or perforator veins can
    also be incompetent. The underlying medical
    condition can be evaluated using duplex
    ultrasound examination. This is helpful in
    accurately devising the treatment plan.

What causes Corona Phlebectasia?
  • The key function of veins is to transport blood
    in a single direction to the lungs and heart in
    order to be oxygenated. The valves in the vein
    walls keep the blood flowing in one direction do
    not work causing blood to leak backward known as
    venous reflux or venous insufficiency. This leads
    to blood accumulating in a part of the vein
    resulting in bulge on the surface of the skin.
  • In case of pressure and valve malfunction in
    veins you might experience
  •    Prominent veins- visibly large and bulging
    varicose veins appearing smaller spider like
    veins or reticular veins, without any symptoms or
    pain.
  •    Prominent veins along with symptoms such as
    swelling in the leg, or venous ulcers. It causes
    breakdown in skin around the lower leg or ankle
    region.
  •    Only symptoms with no visible abnormal veins

4
What are Symptoms of Varicose Veins?
  • Varicose veins sometimes might cause no symptoms.
    The large, twisting veins can cause no
    discomfort, while damaged veins that are less
    visible can become extremely painful.
  • Symptoms associated with varicose veins leads to
    pain and discomfort along with
  •    Feeling of heavy and achy legs
  •    Muscle cramps
  •    Throbbing and burning feeling in your legs
  •    Swelling in your calves and around ankles
