Why do i have varicose veins on my thighs?

Varicose veins: Are more prevalent in women (pregnancies, hormones, heredity) and are located on the legs: thighs and calves. If located just on the thigh they could be what is called pelvic varicosities which is found in women only. You could also have varicosities originating in the groin along the saphenous vein. See a specialist in veins but for good info log into www.Gorenveincenter.Com.

Bulging Veins.: Varicose veins are bulging grape-like appearing veins which are most commonly seen on the legs. These are due to leaking(refluxing) valves usually in the saphenous system. Some causes include hereditary, pregnancy, trauma and aging. The gold standard of treatment is to have a venous reflux ultrasound to both diagnose and form a treatment plan. You should see a vein specialist.

Varicose Veins: I was unable to view the photo, but if the veins are enlarged, bulging and "serpentine" in appearance, with alot of tortuosity, then they are likely varicose. It is best to have a physician view them in person to confirm that they are indeed varicose. If they are, you should seek a vein specialist in your community to assess for treatment.
