Spider Veins

It's estimated that as many as 50 percent of North American females ranging from 30 to 60 years old suffer from spider veins.

Spider veins, known as "telangiectasias" or "sunburst" in the medical world, are small thin clumps of red or purple veins that usually appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. Numerous factors can cause the development of spider veins - including heredity, hormonal changes (like puberty, pregnancy or menopause), occupational stress or activities that involve continuous sitting or standing. Certain medications have also been held responsible for causing spider veins. For example, taking estrogen, progesterone or birth control pills have all been linked the cause.
