Varicose veins<\/a> are a condition that is characterised by large, swollen and superficial veins, especially on the legs and feet. The veins may appear bulging, lumpy, or twisted with a blue or dark purple colour. Some of its other symptoms are aching and heavy legs, swollen feet and ankles, muscle cramps, alongside a burning sensation on the legs. It is caused by the malfunctioning of valves in the veins. Normally, blood flows from the heart to other body parts via arteries, and back to the heart through veins. It is prevented from flowing backwards by several valves that open to let blood through and then close to hold it from flowing back. Weakened or malfunctioning valves allow blood to flow backwards and collect in the veins. Accumulation of this blood causes the vein to be swollen and bulging. We offer Laser varicose veins treatment at our different clinics across Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Varicose veins are neither infectious nor communicable, hence can be spread from one person to another. Women, elderly people, obese individuals, pregnant women and persons whose jobs involve standing for long hours are at higher risks of getting varicose veins. Having a close family member who has varicose veins may also put one at risk of getting it, as it is also a genetic condition. Varicose veins are not considered fatal or dangerous in any way, although they bring about discomfort and pain to the patient. In addition, they may cause other medical conditions later in the future such as blood clots and chronic venous insufficiency<\/a>.  One is advised to seek medical advice from a doctor should they notice these symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
