what are varicose veins?

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that may often appear on your legs and feet. They occur whenever the valves in your veins do not work properly, and the blood does not flow effectively in one direction.

You can manage varicose veins by making some lifestyle changes. However, if swelling, aching, or pain persists, you must consult your doctor immediately. Untreated varicose veins can be life threatening.

There are various ways to manage varicose veins, including home remedies and exercise. If a varicose vein may rupture or develop into varicose ulcers on your skin, it will require treatment.
