6. Varicose Veins

When veins suffer from irregular blood flow, pressure builds up, causing a twisted, swollen bulge. Varicose veins are mostly found on the legs. They're often itchy and painful, and some people experience an unpleasant heaviness and burning sensation in the lower extremities. Heredity, obesity, constipation and hormonal changes may all cause varicose veins. Compression stockings encourage blood flow, and your physician can give you more advice.
