- THE VEINS IN YOUR LEGS
- An understanding of varicose veins and venous insufficiency begins with understanding the unusual arrangement of the veins in your legs. You really have two venous systems. You can see the superficial veins under your skin. When these become dilated and tortuous, they are called varicose veins. The word "varicose" comes from the Latin for dilated. The longest and largest of these veins is connected to the femoral vein and courses down the inner aspect of your thigh and leg. It is called THE GREATER (longer) SAPHENOUS VEIN. Another large superficial vein begins behind the knee and runs down the back of the calf of your leg. It is THE LESSER (shorter) SAPHENOUS VEIN. Both have branches that extend under the skin.
