  1. How Varicose Vein Impacts Your Feet? - Specialty Care Clinics

  2. Feet Varicose Veins Varicose veins or Corona Phlebectasia appear around the ankle or foot. Varicose veins or spider veins affect the feet, thigh and calves. Veins in the feet contain valves that lose their function over time. As the valves lose function the blood backs up in the veins, stretching the veins and further leading to varicose veins. It is a cluster of veins at the ankle and foot creating an appearance of a blue foot. It is a sign of advanced vein disease and often indicates failed valves in the great saphenous vein, one of the several veins that drain the surface of your legs. Spider veins are deceptively considered as a cosmetic issue. On the contrary, the presence of corona phlebectasia is a clinical sign. It is associated with venous reflux, mostly saphenous vein reflux, but the deep or perforator veins can also be incompetent. The underlying medical condition can be evaluated using duplex ultrasound examination. This is helpful in accurately devising the treatment plan.

  3. What causes Corona Phlebectasia? The key function of veins is to transport blood in a single direction to the lungs and heart in order to be oxygenated. The valves in the vein walls keep the blood flowing in one direction do not work causing blood to leak backward known as venous reflux or venous insufficiency. This leads to blood accumulating in a part of the vein resulting in bulge on the surface of the skin. In case of pressure and valve malfunction in veins you might experience: Prominent veins- visibly large and bulging varicose veins appearing smaller spider like veins or reticular veins, without any symptoms or pain. Prominent veins along with symptoms such as swelling in the leg, or venous ulcers. It causes breakdown in skin around the lower leg or ankle region. Only symptoms with no visible abnormal veins

  4. What are Symptoms of Varicose Veins? Varicose veins sometimes might cause no symptoms.
