Varicose veins are a condition that most commonly affects people of sub-ESzłhis age, pregnant women or people who are overweight. They are nothing more than abnormally dilated and tortuous blood vessels. They usually reveal themselves on the legs, as purple or blue, bulging lines. Varicose veins are a direct result of the failure of the venous valves that prevent blood from backing up towards the heart. The blood then backs up into the veins, causing them to dilate and twist. Current methods of medicine allow for the permanent removal of varicose veins laser therapy.
