Leg thread veins
Thread veins on the legs, often known as spider veins or broken veins are very common and can be very unsightly. In addition, they can cause ache, tired legs, itch and "burning" discomfort. Symptoms are often worse at the times of a period or in warm weather. The veins can vary from fine red marks to larger purple or deep blue veins. They can cause significant cosmetic embarrassment and many women will not wear short skirts in the summer months.
The reason why people develop thread veins on the legs is not fully understood but
important associations are heredity, pregnancy and hormonal factors. They can also follow minor injuries. In many cases, ultrasound investigation shows that they can be caused by deeper varicose veins and reflux.
