Abstract
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.
