This is a condition called &#8216;varicose veins&#8217; in which the veins swell. Here are the main reasons that lead to this:<\/p>\n<p>Prolonged standing jobs: This is more common in teachers, traffic policemen, security personnel, people who work at counters, and housewives who stand in the kitchen for a long time.

This is because changes in the hormone &#8216;progesterone&#8217; in women make the walls of the blood vessels more flexible. In addition, the elasticity of the valves in the veins naturally decreases with age.<\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy: During pregnancy, the amount of blood in the body increases and the growing uterus presses on the main blood vessels in the abdomen. This obstructs the blood flow from the legs. Although this changes after childbirth in most people, it can be permanent in some.<\/p>\n<p>Obesity and lack of exercise: When you are overweight, it puts unbearable pressure on the veins in the legs. Due to lack of physical exertion and the habit of not walking, the calf muscle pump in the legs becomes inefficient and causes blood to pool.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d28\u0d3f\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d33\u0d41\u0d1f\u0d46 \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d32\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d46 \u0d1e\u0d30\u0d2e\u0d4d\u0d2a\u0d41\u0d15\u0d33\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d08 \u0d32\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d7e \u0d15\u0d3e\u0d23\u0d41\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d41\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d4b \u0d36\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d26\u0d4d\u0d27\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d15  @BaijusVlogsOfficial\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FBNY6bIeyw4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Genetics: If your parents or close relatives have a history of varicose veins in the family, the next generation is more than 50 percent more likely to develop this disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the walls of the veins that carry impure blood &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":30998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-job"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1-2026-05-18T170012.477.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30999,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30997\/revisions\/30999"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/30998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
