WHAT IS VARICOSE VEIN?

Varicose Vein

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin.

They are most common in the legs and ankles. They usually aren’t serious, but they can sometimes lead to other problems.
Varicose veins are caused by weakened valves and veins in your legs. Normally, one-way valves in your veins keep blood flowing from your legs up toward your heart.
When these valves do not work as they should, blood collects in your legs, and pressure builds up.
The veins become weak, large, and twisted.

Varicose veins often run in families. Aging also increases your risk.
Being overweight or pregnant or having a job where you must stand for long periods of time increases pressure on leg veins. This can lead to varicose veins.
