FAQs

What are Spider Veins?

Spider veins are small red, blue or purple veins that appear near the surface of the skin. Spider veins are common on the surface of the thighs, calves and ankles. It's estimated that at least 30 percent of the adult female population is troubled with this common problem. People often seek treatment for spider veins because of cosmetic concern. However, it is also common for spider veins to cause symptoms, such as aching, heaviness, itching and night cramps.

Spider veins may be isolated or associated with "feeder" veins. They can also be associated with larger underlying varicose veins.

Certain factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including heredity, pregnancy, hormonal factors, weight gain, occupations or activities that require prolonged sitting or standing, and trauma.

Do lifestyle factors contribute to the development of spider veins or varicose veins?

Yes. There are many factors in our everyday lives that can lead to increased spider veins. These include prolonged standing or sitting, binding clothing, chronic constipation, birth control pills/estrogen replacement therapy, high-heeled shoes, menstrual cycle, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, number of pregnancies, westernized population, and heat.

How can the development of spider veins be prevented?

Whenever possible, elevate your legs to a position above the heart.
Increase venous return to the heart. This can be accomplished by exercising daily. Activities which invoke the action of the calf muscles reduce pooling and pressure in the veins.
Move your legs frequently. Flexing your ankles periodically will pump the blood out of your legs (simulating walking). Try to avoid sitting for extended periods throughout your day. On long car or plane trips activate your calf muscle pump by moving your feet up and down frequently.
Maintain your ideal body weight to reduce excess pressure on your legs.
Avoid excessive heat on your legs, such as hot tubs and hot baths. Heat will tend to increase vein distention and lead to more pooling of blood.
