Veins in the circulatory system function to bring blood from your body back to your heart. To counteract the effects of gravity, veins have special one-way valves that help blood flow in the right direction. When these valves stop working, pressure builds up in the vein, leading to the formation of varicose veins and the associated symptoms. I'm Dr. Brian Keyashian. Thanks for watching!
