Varicose veins information and locations in Mexico
Varicose veins are enlarged and twisted veins. They can appear everywhere on the body, though they most frequently appear in the legs. Varicose veins can result in skin abnormalities including discoloration or ulceration.
Varicose veins are caused by weaker valves and veins in the legs, that allow blood to flow back into the veins instead of returning to the heart. The chance of developing varicose veins can be influenced by genetics, age, gender, pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged standing or sitting. Aching, soreness, swelling, itching, and a sense of heaviness or fatigue in the legs are all common signs of varicose veins.
Treatment starts with changes in lifestyle such as regular exercise, using compression stockings or garments, elevating the legs multiple times a day, and keeping a healthy weight.
