Varices are distorted and bulging veins. Varicose veins can develop near the top layer of skin (superficial veins). Varicose veins are also most common in the legs. Since standing and walking raise the pressure in the lower body's veins, this is the case.

 Varicose veins and striate, a frequent, minor version of varicose veins, are primarily an aesthetic problem for many individuals. Varicose veins can cause agonizing pain and discomfort in certain persons. Varicose veins can sometimes lead to serious complications.

What Causes Varicose Veins and Spider Veins?

A lot of causes can contribute to varicose and spider veins. These consist of:-

Heredity

Nurses, hair  stylists, instructors, and manufacturing employees are examples of  occupations that require a lot of standing.

Obesity

Pregnancy, adolescence, and retirement all have hormonal effects.

The use of  birth control pills

Hormone replacement after menopause

A history of  blood clots.

 How does the procedure work?

 The vein is seen using ultrasonography by the doctor. Through a tiny incision, a fibre or electrode is transferred to the appropriate spot within the vein.

Local anaesthetic is administered into the tissues around the vein, causing the vein to collapse around the fibre or electrode and function as insulation for the heat of the energy. The energy warms the vessel, causing it to shut. The defective vein will shrink and scar down as a result of the operation.

Veins in lower limb have valves which keep the blood moving towards heart and prevents backflow. If valves are weak or damaged, backflow of blood occurs which pools the veins. Continuous pooling causes veins to become stretched, swollen and tortuous. Varicose veins are swollen, twisted and bulged veins that are clearly visible in legs and feet.
