What causes varicose veins?
Blood flows from the limbs to the heart through veins. In healthy leg veins, the blood flows smoothly, pumped along by a series of valves. However, a number of factors – including age, stress, weight gain, pregnancy and heredity – can cause these valves to weaken. As they do, blood no longer moves effectively through the vein but pools or even reverses itself at the faulty valve. When this blood pooling occurs, it results in the discolored knots or bulges visible with varicose veins.
