Spider veins

Spider veins (spider capillaries or venous capillaries) are health problems that negatively impact the appearance of the legs. Although they are often not harmful, in some cases, a problem in the veins may lead to the occurrence of varicose veins.

Telangiectasias, or spider veins, affect capillaries, the smallest blood vessels in the body. They are likely to appear on the legs or face and resemble a spider’s web, either in blue or red.

Many people with varicose veins complain of pain, described as pain or cramping in the affected area. Other common symptoms include fatigue, restlessness, burning, throbbing, tingling, or heaviness in the affected area. But if you have spider veins without internal varicose veins, the symptoms, if any, are slight, such as itching and burning.

Causes of spider veins include pregnancy, obesity, congenital anomalies, and internal varicose veins.

Examination of the veins of the legs by Doppler ultra-sound is critical to ensure no reflux of the venous bloodstream, which must be treated first. Treating spider veins alone may lead to a very high recurrence rate if venous embolism is not treated.

Treatment methods:

Venous sclerotherapy involves injecting a special drug inside the veins, which causes damage and closure. It is usually done in the clinic in sessions and requires several sessions.
