Enlarged and twisted veins that are close to the skin’s surface are called varicose veins.
They tend to affect women more than men and although they can appear anywhere on the body, they typically occur on the legs and sometimes the oesophagus.
Varicose veins occur because of weak valves which are designed so that the blood can circulated throughout the body easily, even against gravity, these weak valves cause blood pools especially in the veins of the legs which causes them to become dilated, twisted and to bulge.
Varicose veins can be caused by:
-
Being overweight
-
Pregnant
-
A lack of exercise
-
Standing or sitting for long periods of time
-
They may even be hereditary
