Actress Taapsee Pannu recently revealed that she suffered from varicose veins, and got them treated and removed just before she started preparing for her role in Rashmi Rocket, her upcoming movie. "When I see this picture I remember how I got my varicose veins operated and removed just 6 weeks before I started training. Now those scars can act as an evil eye," she wrote in the caption of her Insta post.

They are bluish-purple or red in colour and are often painful.

And this was not it. In her Instagram feed today, Pannu shared another video of her doing a power packed weighted leg exercise. "That moment I tell Sujeet Kargutkar Ki isse zyada weight daala toh haath pe ghar jaana padega" (that moment I tell Sujeet Kagutkar that if if you add any more weight to the machine, I will have to go home on my hands).
Well, the actress sets the right example that if there's a goal that you need to achieve, be determined enough to achieve it and make no excuses!
Speaking of varicose veins, they are clearly visible misshapen veins which are usually on your legs. They can cause pain, heaviness, swelling, achiness over or around the enlarged veins. Some cases may result in swelling and discoloration. Severe cases can cause significant bleeding and formation of ulcers.
Varicose veins occur when your veins fail to function properly. The veins have one-way valves which prevent the blood from flowing backward. When they fail to do that, blood beigns to collect in veins rather than flowing towards the heart. This results in enlargement of veins.

A few lifestyle changes can help in preventing the condition from getting worse. You need to avoid standing for long periods of time and maintain a healthy weight/ lose weight if required. Regular exercise can help in improving circulation while using hot or cold compresses or stockings can help in curbing the pain.
For a person suffering with varicose veins, efforts should be made to prevent new ones. You can also put your legs elevated by stacking pillows. In case these lifestyle changes don't work, the patient may need surgery.
Kudos to Taapsee Panuu for such motivation!
