Varicose veins are also defined as varicosity or varicosis. These are stretched, bulged, twisted painful superficial veins that can be noticed beneath the surface of the skin. They develop when the blood circulation in the veins slows down due to damaged valves. A valve is a single-way flap that blocks the way of blood to prevent its flow in the backward direction.
