This is a case of varicose veins. If left untreated, varicose veins might lead to blood clots in future- known as deep vein thrombosis.
Next Steps
Consult a vascular or general surgeon. Till then, keep the legs elevated over pillows while lying down and over a footstool while sitting. Do not let the legs hang for long periods of time. Avoid standing and walking for long periods. Apply appropriate sized compression stockings.
