Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins that usually appear dark blue or purple in color. They typically occur in the legs and can be caused by weakened or damaged vein walls and valves. These valves normally help blood flow efficiently toward the heart, but when they weaken, blood can pool in the veins, leading to the development of varicose veins. Varicose veins are a common vascular condition that affects lakhs of people worldwide.
