What is a varicose vein?
A varicose vein is an abnormal dilation of a vein caused by insufficiency of the venous system. The venous system is responsible for returning blood from the extremities to the heart. When the valve system of the veins no longer works, as in peripheral venous insufficiency, the blood flows back down to the feet. This can cause multiple inconveniences including pain, a feeling of heaviness, swelling, varicose veins and even ulcers in the lower limbs. The most important risk factors for venous insufficiency include heredity, female gender, pregnancy, advanced age, weight and prolonged standing and sitting.
Although the majority of these factors cannot be modified, we can still intervene on certain components to reduce the risk of disease progression.
