Your vascular (circulatory) system is comprised of veins and arteries. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body, while veins return blood back to the heart. Various contributing factors such as genetics, obesity, pregnancy and other risk factors can disrupt blood flow within your venous system.

Varicose veins appear as large, bulging, rope-like veins on the legs. Typically associated with symptoms such as aching, tiredness, swelling and restlessness in the legs, varicose veins can be signs of underlying venous reflux disease. Venous reflux occurs in millions of women and men around the world and is a progressive medical condition that can worsen if left untreated.
