Introduction: Varicose veins are a superficial vein of the lower limb that has permanently lost
its valvular efficiency and has become dilated, tortuous, and thickened as a result of the resulting
venous hypertension in the standing position. Varicose veins affect 23% of American adults,
according to statistics. When spider telangiectasis and reticular veins are included, the prevalence
rises to 80% in males and 85% in females. Varicose vein disease is distinguished by dilated,
elongated, and tortuous superficial veins of the lower limbs, which may allow blood to flow
backwards due to faulty valves.
