**Introduction to Varicose Veins**

Varicose veins are not just a cosmetic concern; they can also be a sign of underlying venous insufficiency. These enlarged, twisted veins often appear blue or dark purple and are most commonly found in the legs. Understanding the causes and symptoms is the first step towards effective treatment.

**What Causes Varicose Veins?**

- **Genetic Predisposition**: If family members have varicose veins, you may be more prone to developing them.

- **Age**: As you age, your veins can lose elasticity, causing them to stretch.

- **Gender**: Women are more likely to develop varicose veins due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, premenstruation, and menopause.

- **Prolonged Standing or Sitting**: This can increase pressure in the veins of your lower body.

**Symptoms of Varicose Veins**

- Visible, enlarged veins, usually on the legs.

- Aching or heavy feeling in your legs.

- Swelling, burning, and muscle cramping in lower legs.

- Pain after sitting or standing for a long time.

- Itching around one or more of your veins.
