Spider & Varicose Veins It s more common than you think Spider veins are small blue or red veins shaped like tree branches that often appear later in life on the calves and ankles.

These occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Pregnancy. During pregnancy, there is a huge increase in the amount of blood in the body. This can cause veins to enlarge. Obesity.
