  6. NJVVC Symptom and Causes Spider veins may cause itching, burning and even severe discomfort and pain. Most of the times there may be no symptoms available. Just like in varicose veins, spider veins are also caused by a common condition in the medical term which is known as venous insufficiency. As we all know, our veins carry blood from our body tissues to the heart. Our Hearts then replenish the blood supply with oxygen and it is further re-circulated throughout the body parts. It is made possible with the help of tiny one-way valves.  Each vein has these microvalves and with every pump of the heart, our blood flows through a series of valves in the veins to help the blood flow travel upward from our legs as it returns to the heart. When these valves fail or there is any leak, the blood collects in the region causing the veins to form a spider web-like appearance. SPIDER VEINS UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT VEIN CONDITIONS

  7. NJVVC What Are Reticular Veins? Reticular veins are sometimes also called feeder veins or blue veins. It occurs when veins become dilated which allows the blood to flow backward. This causes the veins to enlarge due to the increase in pressure. The veins become twisted and can often bulge and look unattractive as they make blue or green lines appear under the skin. It often takes a marbled appearance. RETICULAR VEINS UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT VEIN CONDITIONS "Also Called Feeder Veins or Blue Veins, Blue or Green Line Appear Under Skin"
