Varicose veins are enlarged, prominent veins that develop when valves within the vein begin to fail. This process interferes with the efficiency of the circulatory system, resulting in the blood remaining in the vein for longer than it should, instead of continuing on its journey around the body. Over time, the veins become more prominent. Varicose veins can occur anywhere, but they are particularly common in the lower extremities, since this is where the pressure on the veins is at its maximum. They are often seen in overweight individuals, or may develop during pregnancy. Not only do the varicose veins appear unsightly, they can also cause considerable discomfort, particularly after prolonged periods of the position.
