Article Excerpts about Varicose veins
Varicose veins are very swollen and raised above the surface of the
skin. They are dark purple or blue in color, and can look like cords or
very twisted and bulging. They are found most often on the backs of the
calves or on the inside of the leg, anywhere from the groin to the ankle.
During pregnancy, varicose veins called hemorrhoids can form in the vagina
or around the anus. (Source: excerpt from VARICOSE VEINS AND SPIDER VEINS: NWHIC)
