Varicose Veins Treatment in Kukatpally, Hyderabad
Veins are the vessels that carry impure blood to the heart from all parts of the body. Valves act as motor which helps to push the blood towards the heart and when the person stands for long time or sits for long time, these valves become weak and non-functional due to which the blood circulation will not occur properly in the legs. Due to this, the blood will stain in the veins and it will become enlarged and twisted in their structure.
