Varicose veins are abnormal dilation of blood vessels in the cavity behind the pressure caused by back flow of blood that flows in it. This occurs due to two things: first, there is a blockage / emphasis that prevents back flow and the second is when the reverse flow of blood to the heart more than normal in the blood vessels which would free the blockage / emphasis.
Against these two states, the amount of blood flow caused by a cavity that not only blood vessels dilated, but a meandering and branching.
