When people go looking for a costume, chances are that they sometimes like to get the more garish ones, like ones with a lot of veins.
Well, people sometimes do not have to look any farther than their legs to see prominent, potentially disfiguring veins, so it is up to them to figure out what these veins mean, and how they can get the best treatment.
Usually, the veins that are being referred to are varicose veins.
For some people, they can literally wake up one morning and notice the veins having appeared out of nowhere.
In the case of other people, the varicose veins start showing up gradually, preceded by excessive joint stiffness and aching sensations.
There are a bunch of different causes of varicose veins, the first of which has to do with pregnancy.
The weight gain, when paired with a hectic schedule of always walking around without the proper footwear, can place pressure on the veins in the legs and hinder circulation.
Another cause of varicose veins is previously poor circulation.
Some people are born with weak veins, and as such blood flow becomes constricted.
In this situation, the veins try to expand in order to accommodate all of the incoming blood flow, but they end up severely swelling.
Sometimes, a clot can form as well.
However, with either sclerotherapy or laser therapy, the veins start to clear up after a few sessions, and the patient will have learned how to prevent the onset of additional veins.
