COMMON VEIN CONDITIONS
While varicose veins are one of the most well-known vein complications, there is a range of other diseases that can affect your vascular system.
Raynaud’s Phenomenon
This condition is presented as white or bluish skin in the fingers and toes due to spasms in the small arteries.
Buerger’s Disease
With this malady, you’ll notice a pain in the feet and legs as well as hands and arms. This is brought on by blocked blood vessels.
Peripheral Venous Disease
This disorder initially shows as bulging in the veins under the skin, leading to a feeling of heaviness and pain in the legs.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
An ailment that causes poor circulation brought on by hardening or narrowing of the artery from smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are one of the most common vein issues. You’ll notice it by the bulging or purplish veins in the legs due to damaged valves.
Pregnancy Veins
We find that this issue is usually caused by pregnancy, bed rest, or damage to the veins. Pregnancy veins occur due to the increased size of the uterus during pregnancy. The uterus causes pressure on the large vein on the right side of the body, called the vena cava.
Reticular Veins
Usually painless, this condition affects almost 80% of adults due to hormone imbalances, weak veins, and genetic factors.
Blood Clotting Disorders
Whether inherited or acquired, these disorders make it so that blood does not clot normally. When this happens blood can often be found in urine or stool. It may also cause nosebleeds or excessive bleeding during childbirth.
Telangiectasia (Spider Veins)
Spider veins are caused by the pressure of body weight, gravity and the tough job of carrying blood back to the heart. You may notice them on the face, breasts, and feet. Almost 60% of adults may have spider veins.
Lymphedema
With this condition, fluid from the lymphatic system builds up and causes swollen arms and legs. Most often this is caused by damaged or missing lymph nodes or vessels.
