Varicose veins are enlarged, bulging veins. According to the Mayo Clinic, in addition to the bulge, symptoms may include pain, night cramps, itchiness and feelings of heaviness. Varicose veins can occur anywhere in the body, but usually develop in the legs. They are fairly common and according to the John Hopkins Bayview Vein Center, occur more often in women than in men. Although certain risk factors such as family history are not controllable, there are steps to take to help prevent varicose veins.
