Introduction
Have you noticed purple or bluish veins appearing on your legs? While these veins are often harmless, they can sometimes signal underlying vein issues that deserve attention. Understanding what causes these veins, how to prevent them, and when to seek treatment can help you maintain healthy circulation and comfortable legs.
What Are Purple Veins?
Purple veins, often referred to as varicose veins or spider veins, are visible, swollen veins that appear under the skin. They are typically blue, purple, or dark red and may appear twisted or bulging. While small spider veins are mostly cosmetic, larger varicose veins can cause discomfort or indicate underlying circulatory problems.
