Vericose veins what it is and what treatment for it to heal
Varicose vein is a condition in which the superficial veins of the extremities of the body, that is the hands and the feet get enlarged or gnarled and can no longer carry out proper vascular circulation of blood. These veins appear as bluish or purplish coloured network of veins on the skin and are sometimes associated with skin rash, inflammation, pain, blood clots and/or bleeding.
Veins are the blood vessels which carry deoxygenated blood from different parts of the body towards the heart to maintain the circulatory system. The veins in our hands and legs have to act against gravity to deliver blood upwards to the heart. To maintain this function, the veins have elastic walls, narrow lumen, and also valves, which prevent the backflow of blood.
In situations such as old age, pregnancy, or due to heavy workload, these veins might lose their elasticity, become wide and also the valves might collapse, causing excess accumulation of deoxygenated blood in these veins and gives the characteristic colour appearance. Oozing out of fluid from these veins might cause swelling and inflammation of legs, and hands and the regions where blood accumulates can cause to form painful clots and itching.
