The function of a human artery is to carry the blood from human heart to the rest of body whereas a vein helps in carrying blood back to the heart but in the whole process of carrying blood from heart to the rest of the body and back to the heart, it is actually the valves that stop the blood from flowing backward.
This condition may lead to pain, swelling, cramps, varicose veins and leg ulcers.
“It has been found by doctors that the people having a family history of chronic venous insufficiency are more likely to be affected by this complication,” says Irfan Siddiqui, the leading cardiologist of the country.
The Prime cause of venous insufficiency is no doubt blood clotting and varicose veins.
If you are overweight then your chances of developing this condition are higher than average-weight people.
It has been found by the doctors that excessive weight of the body may hamper the functioning of the valves and hence may hamper the process of easy and smooth blood flow from the human heart to the body and back to the heart.
