Varicose veins are a condition that affects many people today. Varicose veins usually occur in the legs. Blood is pumped from the legs through the veins to the heart. This should only be done in one direction from the feet to the heart. But varicose veins are a condition where the blood is not pumped to the heart and gets stuck in the veins.
This problem usually occurs in people who stand for a long time.People who work as chefs in teachers police hotels.People who do this kind of work have to stand for 10-15 hours a day. In women, it may be slightly reduced during labor, but it will disappear after delivery. Only a small percentage of those who see varicose veins develop this condition.
The symptoms of this are swelling in the leg mainly below the knee. Another symptom is fluid build up around the feet when traveling for a long time or standing for a long time. Leg cramps occur in the evening. Then there is itching around the leg. The feet are itchy and black in color.
