Do varicose veins occur only on the arms and legs?
I have yet to see them occur anywhere else on the body.

Our research has shown that varicose veins mainly affect the legs, but can also affect the anus (haemorrhoids or piles), vulva and vagina (usually after pregnancy) and inside the pelvis (pelvic congestions syndrome).
Dilated veins on the arms are not really varicose veins as the valves are still working inside.
