VARICOSE VEINS Symptoms, Causes Treatments

• Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that
  can occur anywhere in the body, but they are most
  common in the legs. They are caused by a
  weakening of the valves in the veins, which
  allows blood to flow backward and pool in the
  veins. This can cause the veins to swell and
  become visible.
• Varicose veins can be a cosmetic concern, but
  they can also cause pain, swelling, heaviness,
  itching, and cramping in the legs. In some cases,
  varicose veins can lead to more serious
  complications, such as ulcers or blood clots.
