This condition arises when the valves present in the veins stop functioning and may show signs of damage through bulging, forming lumps and veins turning blue or purple. Due to this blood flows backwards and assembles in the vein causing bumps on the legs.

What are the Types of Varicose Veins?
- Spider veins- The main reason for spider veins is weakness in the veins. They are termed spider veins because they appear like threads, branches or webs. In fact spider veins are harmless and painless but people usually like to treat them for safety and cosmetic reasons. It may appear on your face or legs.
- Saphenous varicose veins- Saphenous veins are the superficial veins in your legs. These veins collect and carry blood(low in oxygen) into the deep veins that flows back to your heart continuously. When these veins are damaged it becomes difficult in the passage of blood from veins to heart.
- Reticular varicose veins-Reticular veins are bigger than spider veins and always located at the back of your knees. They are long, flat and bluish or purple in colour. They cause pain especially in the lower legs. Sclerotherapy is used for the treatment of reticular varicose veins.
What are the Causes of Varicose Veins?
- Increased blood pressure in veins- When veins are incapable of withstanding the blood flow it creates more pressure in the arteries resulting in swollen veins. Veins must be strong enough, the valves present in it must allow blood to rush.
- Obesity or Overweight- When a person is obese or has more body weight that compresses the walls of veins and pressurises the small and delicate valves present in it. Losing weight helps to decrease the condition of varicose veins.
- Prolonged standing or sitting- Humans tend to engage in daily physical activities that involve standing and sitting for long hours. Standing on your legs more creates pressure in the veins. Sitting more than needed always results in poor and low circulation of blood. Very often blood clots are formed due to this. Crossed legs worsen the condition.
- Family history- Varicose veins are a hereditary factor. If your parents or grandparents had them, there is a 40% possibility that you may get varicose veins too. The chances jump up to 90% when both father and mother have them.
- Pregnancy and Menopause- You are also at risk if you are pregnant. Usually, when a woman is pregnant she undergoes many hormonal changes and imbalances such as heavy weight due to the baby in the womb that creates pressure on the pelvis, Increased blood volume, and Increased levels of progesterone that decrease valve functioning.
What are the Treatments for Varicose Veins?
- Varicose laser treatment- Laser operation for varicose veins is further divided into simple and endovenous. Simple laser vein treatment is usually performed in the initial stages when spider veins develop under the skin. In this, a laser beam is focused on the area. It takes more than one visit to treat them completely.
- Ligation and Stripping- This is a minimally invasive surgery. Vein ligation is the process of stopping the blood from entering the vein by tying it off. A piece of thread is used to do this. Vein stripping is usually performed to treat large varicose veins such as Saphenous veins.
- Radiofrequency Ablation- This is also used to treat superficial veins or chronic venous disease. After making a minor incision, radiofrequency is used to close the walls of damaged veins by heating them. It is safe but complications such as infection, blood clots and bleeding may occur.
