Varicose veins affect the body primarily by impairing blood flow in the affected veins, often in the legs.
This impairment can cause blood to pool, leading to swollen, twisted veins that may be visible under the skin. Symptoms include aching, heaviness, and discomfort in the legs, along with itching and cramping.
Over time, varicose veins can lead to complications like skin ulcers, chronic inflammation, and blood clots. Poor circulation can also impact overall vein health, making the affected areas more susceptible to injury and infection.
Addressing varicose veins early can help prevent these complications and improve quality of life.
