Varicose veins negatively impact circulation by disrupting the normal flow of blood from the legs back to the heart. In healthy veins, one-way valves ensure that blood flows upward, against gravity. However, in varicose veins, these valves become weakened or damaged, causing blood to pool in the veins instead of being efficiently transported to the heart.

This impaired blood flow increases pressure within the veins, exacerbating the swelling and discomfort often associated with varicose veins. The poor circulation can lead to symptoms such as heaviness, aching, and cramping in the legs. Additionally, decreased blood flow can contribute to complications like venous ulcers and increased risk of blood clots.

Addressing varicose veins through appropriate treatments can help improve circulation and reduce associated symptoms.
