What are varicose veins?

Normally, veins in the leg return blood to the heart by the pumping action of the muscles when a person walks. One-way valves prevent reflux of blood back into the legs. Veins become less elastic and the valves can begin to malfunction. When this happens, the veins can take on a ropey appearance that can be unsightly and cause pain and discomfort. Standing and walking may become uncomfortable. Some of the causes of varicose veins are: age, heredity, pregnancy, and weight gain.
