Why do I have these ugly veins on my legs? If treated, will they come back? Does treatment hurt? How much does it cost? delmarveincare.com

I think they are called varicose veins. They appear because your valves in your veins are not completely preventing backflow.
Most veins have one-way flaps called venous valves that prevent blood from flowing back and pooling in the lower extremities due to the effects of gravity.
Exercise (squeezing the blood out of your lower extremities will also help)
It may not be varicose veins (im not a doctor), but i assume thats what your talking about
_______________
The main problems that affect the veins include the following:
*
Abnormal connections of the arterial blood flow into veins called arteriovenous malformations or shunts, which are present at birth
*
Inflammation
*
Clotting
*
Defects that lead to swelling (distention) and varicose veins
