What are the reasons for Varicose Veins?

It generally happens because of the increased blood pressure in the veins. It happens in the veins that are closer to the surface of the skin. What actually happens is, that valves do not work properly making it hard for the muscles to push the blood “uphill”. Instead of flowing from one valve to the next, blood pools in the vein, raising venous pressure and increasing the risk of congestion while bulging and twisting the vein. Because superficial veins are less supported by muscle than deep veins, they are more prone to varicose veins.

Transilluminated powered phlebectomy An endoscopic transilluminator, a special light, is threaded through an incision beneath the skin by a doctor to see which veins need to be removed.
