Varicose veins
Oxygenated blood is taken to various parts of the body by the arteries. After it has been used, blood is returned to the heart by the veins. These veins, unlike arteries, have tiny valves that prevent blood from flowing back to the arteries. If these valves malfunction for some reason, blood accumulates in the vein causing it to stretch. These large, blue and lumpy veins are varicose veins. Varicose veins can cause dull aches, swelling, itching, and a feeling of heaviness. People most susceptible are those who stand in one position for long periods of time, sit with crossed legs or lack regular exercise. Varicose veins rarely cause any severe health problems.
