What Are the Different Kinds of Varicose Vein Therapy?

Varicose veins are tortuous and dilated veins caused by blood stasis and weak venous walls. Varicose veins can occur in various parts of the body. For example, hemorrhoids are actually a type of varicose veins. Clinically, there are esophageal and gastric fundus varicose veins, varicocele varices, and abdominal wall varicose veins. Varicose veins occur most often in the lower extremities. It is worth emphasizing that varicose veins are secondary manifestations of other lesions.
