Varicose veins causes and treatment methods

 

Varicose veins, also known as varicose veins, are a common condition characterized by an increase in the size and deformity of the veins, resulting in poor circulation and swelling. The main cause of varicose veins is a malfunction of the valves in the veins, which normally open when blood flows through them and then close to prevent backflow of blood. However, if the valves don't work properly, blood can accumulate in the veins, causing them to dilate and deform.

There are several treatments for varicose veins, including:

• physical activity
• wearing compression stockings
• лdrug treatment
• surgical interventions that can be applied depending on the severity of the disease.
