Spider veins (telangiectasias)

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are small, damaged, superficial and visible blood vessels under your skin. Generally, spider veins are simply an aesthetic issue and couldn’t lead to health impairment. Yet, if spider veins coexist with CVI, the complications could be very severe: sores, skin ulcers, and thromboembolism. If you notice spider veins, talk to a healthcare provider to exclude CVI.

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency is the most common single deficiency all over the world. Low dietary intake, impaired absorption, bleeding, loss of iron by urine can cause iron deficiency, which, when remaining untreated, can lead to anemia. Iron supplements and multivitamins that contain iron should not be taken without healthcare team consultation, because high iron levels could lead to life-threatening disease.
