Varicose veins are one of the diseases of the cardiovascular system, the most common arising from failure of the venous valves of the veins of the thigh and lower leg, weakness of the venous wall (primary varicose veins) and when there are obstacles to the outflow of venous blood (secondary varicose veins). Both men and women are subject to it. The appearance of primary varicose veins is promoted by overweight, wearing high-heeled shoes, toilet items that compress the veins and impede the flow of blood to the heart (eg tight trousers). Not the least role is played by the work associated with prolonged standing on the legs, as well as the excessive consumption of alcohol and coffee, leading to edema of the lower extremities and the expansion of the blood vessels in them.
