Many patients complain about the appearance of gnarled, enlarged veins in their legs or milder – yet still noticeable – spider veins. However, beyond vanity, varicose veins and spider veins can signal more serious problems involving circulation. In addition, varicose veins often cause aching pain, heaviness, and discomfort. That’s why insurance, including Medicare, often covers the cost of varicose vein treatment.
With age, veins lose elasticity, and the valves may become weak, allowing blood that should be moving toward the heart to flow backward. Blood pools in these veins and causes them to enlarge. These veins appear blue because they contain deoxygenated blood.
