VARICOSE VEINS AND THEIR
TREATMENT AT PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC IN GURGAON
Veins that are twisted and swollen are known as varicose veins. Varicose veins can develop near the surface of the skin (superficial veins). The veins in the legs are most usually affected by varicose veins. Because standing and walking put pressure on the lower body's veins, this is the case.
Varicose veins may not be painful. Varicose veins can be identified by:
On the legs, veins that seem twisted and bulging, frequently resembling cords
When varicose veins cause pain, the following signs and symptoms may appear:
● Legs that be achy or heavy
● Lower leg-burning, throbbing, muscle cramps, and swelling
● Pain that gets worse after a lengthy period of sitting or standing
● Itching in or around one or more veins
● Varicose veins cause changes in skin pigmentation.
WHAT CAUSES VARICOSE VEINS?
Varicose veins are caused by weakened or broken valves. Blood travels from the heart to the rest of the body via arteries. The heart receives blood from the rest of the body through veins. Leg veins must work against gravity to return blood to the heart.
WHAT ARE THE FACTORS
THAT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF GETTING VARICOSE VEINS:
Factors that increase your chances of getting sick are many. Varicose veins are caused by a combination of factors, including:
1. Age:
The vein valves that govern blood flow wear down with age. The valves eventually wear down to the point that some blood can flow back into the veins and accumulate.
The illness affects more women than men. Because female hormones relax vein walls, they could be a factor before a menstrual period, during pregnancy, or throughout menopause. Hormone therapy, such as birth control tablets, has been linked to an increased risk of varicose veins.
The volume of blood in the body expands during pregnancy. This adjustment helps the baby grow, but it can also cause leg veins to expand.
If other members of your family have varicose veins, you're more likely to have them as well.
Obesity puts additional strain on veins.
Long periods of standing or sitting are not recommended. Blood flow is improved by movement.

Varicose veins can cause several uncommon complications.
1. Ulcers:
Near varicose veins, especially around the ankles, painful ulcers can occur on the skin. An ulcer usually starts as a discolored patch on the skin. If you suspect you've acquired a leg ulcer, see your doctor as soon as possible.
2. Blood clots:
Clots in the blood Deep veins in the legs can occasionally expand, causing leg pain and edema. Consistent leg pain or swelling should be addressed by a doctor since it could indicate a blood clot.

Veins near the surface of the skin can rupture on occasion. Even relatively modest bleeding is frequently the result, medical help is required.
