Varicose veins are veins that become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood. Generally blue or dark purple, varicose veins mostly occur in the legs and feet. The reason for this is because standing or walking increases pressure to the veins in the lower part of the body. Varicose veins are a very common condition, especially in women, and about 50% of Americans have them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Causes Varicose Veins?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While arteries carry blood from the heart to tissues in the body, veins return blood back to the heart so that blood can keep circulating. Because veins only carry blood to the heart, they only have one-way valves, which disallow blood to flow backwards. If the valves fail, blood builds up in the vein(s) and doesn’t flow back to the heart like it should. The reason varicose veins are commonly in the legs is because they are farthest from the heart and have to fight gravity to travel back to the heart. Common causes for varicose veins are below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
