Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels in response to certain conditions, including increased temperature. This helps the body regulate its temperature. However, heat may also contribute to increased leg swelling and discomfort in some people with varicose veins.
Varicose veins develop when the valves in the leg veins do not function properly, allowing blood to flow backward and pool in the veins. Factors associated with varicose veins include family history, pregnancy, increasing age and prolonged periods of standing or sitting.
During hot weather, some people may experience more noticeable swelling or aching in the affected legs. The severity of symptoms varies, and heat does not affect everyone in the same way.
Stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat.

Walk regularly and elevate your legs when resting, if comfortable.
Ask a healthcare professional whether compression stockings are appropriate for you.
