If we don’t take proper care of our health, many health problems can occur and one of them is varicose veins. This is a skin condition that occurs when the veins in the body swell or enlarge.
Most people ignore it, considering it a change in the body, but doing so can prove fatal. Many types of problems can occur due to this. Let us know what varicose veins are what their symptoms and their treatment are.
What Are Varicose Veins?
According to reports, the condition in which the veins of the body are more visible than normal is called varicose veins. In this case, the veins turn blue. This condition is most noticeable around the hands, feet, ankles and toes. Varicose veins appear more prominent and blue or purple compared to normal veins. When blood circulation is not proper in the veins, then the veins turn into varicose veins.
How do Varicose Veins Form?
As per studies, there are 3 to 5 valves in the veins of our legs. It is through these valves that the blood from the legs reaches the upper part of the body. However, if there is any problem with these valves, the blood is unable to reach the top and gets accumulated in the veins of the legs. The result is that the veins swell and gradually start weakening. Varicose veins form a bunch inside the skin, which are called spider veins.
