In India alone, more than 10 lakh people suffer from the health problem of varicose veins every year. The condition is seen among young and middle-aged people regardless of age. It is a condition in which the veins, mainly in the legs, are displaced from their original position and become swollen with impure blood.
Varicose veins are caused by a blockage in the blood flow through the veins. Feet are the organ that supports our whole body. When the veins in the legs become weakened due to various reasons, the blood flow through the veins in this area stops or starts to flow backwards. This problem can occur in any part of the body that has nerves, but it is more common in the legs.
Some lifestyle changes need to be made to reduce the stress on the veins. Avoid standing for long periods of time, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly. When the blood vessels and veins in the legs weaken, blood flow to the heart is obstructed. This leads to irregular functioning of the blood vessels.
Due to this blood collects in the legs and causes it to become impure blood. Pregnant women can also have varicose vein problems but this does not require treatment and will disappear after delivery. Also, people who are overweight are more likely to develop varicose veins. Maintain a healthy weight through a healthy lifestyle. Watch the video to know more about this disease.
