What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, and swollen veins that usually appear in the legs. They develop when the valves inside the veins become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool instead of flowing properly back to the heart.
They are a common condition, especially among adults who stand for long hours.
