WHAT ARE VARICOSE VEINS?
They are dilated elongated tortuous worm like veins of the lower limbs.
WHY DO THEY HAPPEN?
Veins take blood from foot upward towards heart against gravity. Due to weakness in the valve or vein blood leaks back downwards instead of going up. This causes excessive dilatation of veins- presenting as varicose veins.
