The veins in the legs are the ones that carry impure blood from the lower part of our body back to the heart against gravity. The condition caused by the malfunction of these veins is scientifically called varicose veins. Here are the 5 main scientific reasons behind varicose veins:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d35\u0d46\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4b\u0d38\u0d4d \u0d35\u0d46\u0d2f\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d2a\u0d42\u0d7c\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d23\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d31\u0d3e\u0d28\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d35\u0d40\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d28\u0d41\u0d02\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eHqBghP9pAs?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>Chronic Venous Insufficiency: The veins in the legs have small one-way valves that help blood flow only upwards. These valves help prevent the blood from flowing back down after going up. However, when these valves are damaged due to muscle weakness or other stress (leaky valves), the blood does not go up completely but backs up and pools in the veins in the legs. This can cause the veins to swell.<\/p>\n<p>Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Teachers, security guards, traffic policemen, bus conductors, and those who work in the kitchen for long periods of time are at a higher risk of varicose veins. When you stand for hours at a time, gravity causes blood to pool in your legs and your calf muscles are unable to pump it back up. This problem can also occur in people who sit for long periods of time.<\/p>\n<p>Heredity and Genetics: Heredity plays a major role in the development of varicose veins. If your parents or close relatives have this disease, the next generation has a 50 percent chance of developing it. This is because the walls of the veins are inherently less elastic.<\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy &amp; Hormones: Varicose veins are more common in women than in men. During pregnancy, the blood volume in the body increases significantly. And as the uterus enlarges, there is severe pressure on the veins in the abdomen, which prevents blood from flowing upward from the legs. In addition, changes in the hormone progesterone can make the walls of the veins more flexible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d35\u0d46\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4b\u0d38\u0d4d \u0d35\u0d46\u0d2f\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d2a\u0d42\u0d7c\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d23\u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d3e\u0d31\u0d3e\u0d28\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d35\u0d40\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d1f\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d28\u0d41\u0d02\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eHqBghP9pAs?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>Obesity &amp; Aging: When body weight increases steadily, the pressure exerted on the veins and valves in the legs doubles.
