What are varicose veins, Lubbock?
Varicose veins, Lubbock, also known as varicoses or
varicosities, occur when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled
with blood. Varicose veins, Lubbock typically appear swollen and raised, and
have a bluish-purple or red color. They are often painful.
The condition is very common, especially in
women. Around 25 percent of all adults have varicose veins, Lubbock. In most cases, varicose veins, Lubbock appear on the lower
legs.
Varicose veins, Lubbock occur when veins aren’t functioning
properly. Veins have one-way valves that prevent blood from flowing backward.
When these valves fail, blood begins to collect in the veins rather than
continuing toward your heart. The veins then enlarge. Varicose veins, Lubbock often affect the legs. The veins there are
the farthest from your heart, and gravity makes it harder for the blood to flow
upward.
