Varicose veins are not classified as a severe medical condition. In the majority of cases, varicose veins are not the cause for concern. Varicose veins may induce hazardous complications in extremely uncommon circumstances. Varicose veins do not typically result in life-threatening or severe complications; however, they can lead to blood clots (thrombophlebitis), minor haemorrhage in close proximity to the skin, and skin ulcers situated in close proximity to the veins. A limited amount of research also indicates that individuals with varicose veins are at an elevated risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), which is characterized by the development of a blood clot in a deep vein, typically in the thigh or lower leg, and Pulmonary Embolism (PE), which occurs when a blood clot breaks off and travels to the lungs, a life-threatening situation.
