The veins in the legs are intricately organized, with deep veins running alongside arteries and superficial veins, including perforating veins. Venous blood typically flows from superficial veins into deep veins, guided by one-way valves to prevent retrograde flow. Malfunctioning valves can lead to retrograde flow, causing pressure elevation and vein dilation. This can result in varicose veins in the superficial veins like the greater and smaller saphenous veins. Deep vein valve dysfunction may contribute to deep venous reflux, impacting superficial varicose veins. Symptoms include dilated superficial veins, leg swelling, heaviness, and, in severe cases, skin changes or ulceration. Varicose veins are associated with factors like family history, gender, pregnancy, and occupation.
