Abstract
The purpose of this article is to assess the causes, stages, and available therapies for varicose veins. Generally, varicose veins are convoluted, twisted, swollen veins that affect blood vessels and are typically present in the lower limbs. It results in painful swelling, blood clots, deformity, and incapacity, affects people of all ages more frequently, and hurts a person's proficiency, productivity, and quality of life. Normally valves in the vein keep blood flowing towards the heart, so the blood does not collect in one place. In Varicose veins, valves are either damaged or missing. This causes the vein to become filled with blood, particularly standing. Obesity and prolonged standing are the main causes of varicose veins. This review describes the stages, causes, and therapy of Varicose veins. Numerous therapies, including endovascular, surgical, and Jalaukaavacharan (Leech Therapy) in Ayurveda, enhance quality of life and lessen complication rates. In addition to these treatment options, daily yoga, and exercise can help prevent varicose veins. Varicose veins are typically a benign condition that can cause several issues that can negatively impact a person's quality of life and possibly result in life-threatening consequences. Venous ulcer is the varicose vein consequence that occurs most frequently. The therapies are not only costly but also come with several hazards for the patient, including increased recurrence rates and vascular or nerve problems.
