What Medical Condition Causes Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are often linked to a medical condition called chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), which is a type of vein disease. In CVI, the valves in the leg veins, responsible for preventing backward blood flow, weaken or get damaged. This leads to the improper flow of blood, causing it to pool in the veins. As a consequence, the veins become enlarged and twisted. In this blog, we explore varicose vein disease, providing information on risk factors, preventive measures, and treatment options for problematic leg veins.
