Varicose veins, also called as varicoses or varicosities, occur when our veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood. Varicose veins are generally painful and have a bluish-purple or red color. and varicose veins appear swollen and raised.
These condition is very common, especially in women. In most cases, varicose veins appear on the lower legs.
What are the Causes of Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins occur when our vein isn’t functioning properly. Veins have one-way valves that prevent blood from flowing backwards. When these valves fail, blood begins to collect in the vein rather than continuing toward our heart. Varicose veins often affect the legs because they are the farthest from the heart and gravity makes it harder for the blood to flow upward.
Some potential causes for varicose veins include:
chronic heart valve conditions, which are usually congenital
pregnancy
menopause
standing for long periods of time
pressure on the midsection of the body, especially the abdomen
obesity, which adds weight to the body and increases the pressure on the legs

The primary symptom of varicose veins is highly visible, misshapen veins, usually on the legs. We may also have pain, swelling, heaviness, and aches in the legs.
In some cases, we may have swelling, discoloration, or ulcers around your ankles, too.
