Not Really: You are not at risk for something serious but get it checked by your doctor or a Vasular Surgeon as it can be successfully treated if indicated for surgery or injections These are twisted enlarged veins and usualy are not a serious problem.These are caused by weak valves and veins in the legs.Valve in the legs keep the blood flowing up in one direction towards heart.When that fails veins get big

Varicose vein: It depends on the size May just be spider veins which are mostly hormonal
