Varicose veins can present a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. The most noticeable sign is the appearance of bulging, twisted veins on the surface of the skin, often bluish or purple in color. These veins are most commonly seen on the legs, particularly on the calves and thighs. In addition to their appearance, varicose veins can cause a range of physical symptoms.

Many individuals experience aching or a heavy, tired feeling in their legs, particularly after standing or sitting for extended periods. Swelling in the lower legs and ankles is also common, especially toward the end of the day.

Some people may notice itching around the affected veins, and the skin in this area can become dry or irritated. In more advanced cases, the skin around the varicose veins may change color, thicken, or develop ulcers.
