Medical Conditions - Dilated Veins

Dilated or varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins close to the skin's surface. They can form in any body part but usually occur in the legs. Dilated veins occur due to increased blood pressure in the veins. Dilated veins symptoms include misshapen veins, pain, swelling, and heaviness over or around the enlarged veins. Treatment may involve self-care measures, compression stockings, and surgeries or procedures.
