When the vein is clogged, the stagnant blood solidify and form thick wall. This may sometimes feel painful to touch. The blood clots in the vessels can even cause stroke if it reaches the brain.

To prevent varicose veins always remember to have a balanced diet and lots of exercise. Specialized stockings can also be used for hemorrhoid relief. Just a tip I learned from my doctor, make it a point to raise your legs before sleeping. Doing this for a few minutes a day allows the blood to easily return to the body and not get stuck in the legs.
