What are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins also referred as varicoses are enlarged and twisted veins. Veins mainly become bulgy when valves in veins do not work properly and this affects the circulation continuing towards the heart. When the flow gets obstructed due to faulty valves, the fluid gets collected in veins and due to this increased pressure, the veins become enlarged. Any veins can become varicose, but most affected are veins present in legs and feet.
