📖What is Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that most commonly appear on the legs and feet, occurring when the small valves inside veins that normally keep blood flowing toward the heart become weakened or damaged. This allows blood to pool and flow backward, causing the veins to stretch, bulge, and become visible under the skin. While often primarily a cosmetic concern, varicose veins can also cause discomfort and, over time, lead to complications such as skin changes, ulcers, or blood clots if left untreated. They are more common with advancing age and prolonged standing occupations.
