Varicose veins are a problem faced by many people today. In India alone, more than 10 lakh people suffer from the health problem of varicose veins every year. It is more common in women than men. Varicose veins are a condition where the veins become tangled and look like snakes.
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. This disease can be prevented to some extent by paying attention to some things in the lifestyle. Avoid standing for long periods of time, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly. When the blood vessels and veins in the legs become weak, blood flow to the heart is impeded.
This leads to irregular functioning of the blood vessels. Due to this blood collects in the legs and causes it to become impure blood. People who are overweight are also more likely to develop varicose veins. Apart from this, it is more common in pregnant women. Watch the video to know more about it.
