hese over-stretched blood-vessels have lost their ability to return blood efficiently from the tissues of the body to the main veins – the ‘trunk roads’ that return blood to the heart. The legs are the worst affected area because here the veins are constantly working against the force of gravity, which tends to push the blood back towards the feet. People who are standing still most of the day are most susceptible. Other causes of increased abdominal pressure, such as constipation and pregnancy, may further add to the problem. Sufferers should try to counteract these influences by sitting with the feet raised when possible, and making the calf muscles work by flexing and stretching the ankle, thus causing a pumping action in the lower leg.
