Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are superficial leg veins that have lost their one-way valve function. Without firm valves to keep blood moving upward toward the heart, fluid pools inside the vessel, pressure rises, and the vein stretches into the familiar rope-like bulge.
Physicians around the world rely on CEAP—an acronym for Clinical signs, Etiology, Anatomy, and Pathophysiology—to describe varicose vein stages objectively.
When most people hear the word “stage,” they’re referring to the first letter, the six clinical classes:
C1 – spider or reticular veins
C2 – true varicose veins (≥ 3 mm)
C3 – leg swelling (edema) without skin change
C4 – skin changes from chronic congestion
C5 – healed venous ulcer
C6 – active venous ulcer
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Prominent or bulging leg veins
Heaviness or aching in legs
Night cramps or leg fatigue
Swelling in ankles and feet
Skin darkening or itching near veins
Non-healing ulcers around ankles
