Do you know that women are more likely to have varicose veins and thrombosis? Men have lesser chances of developing them. In this condition, our veins become large and have swelling in them.
This slows down the flow of blood to the heart, forcing accumulation in the veins. These veins can be usually seen in the legs and ankles. But what causes varicose veins? The underlying cause is the damaged veins and valves. And they are damaged because of several reasons. This includes:
- Absence of exercise
- Being obese
- Pregnancy
- Standing/sitting for extended hours
- Tight clothes
- Injury
When there is blockage of blood in our deep veins, it causes a condition called deep vein thrombosis. It is also caused by varicose veins. But the good thing is that it is something not as chronic and is treatable with homemade remedies supported by changes in habits of standing/sitting. Regular exercise can also help.
