The reason Why varicose veins occur primarily
in the legs?

• Arteries and veins are part of the circulatory
  system which helps in circulation of blood
  through our body. Arteries carry oxygenated blood
  from the heart to the rest of the body, whereas
  veins carry deoxygenated blood from the rest of
  the body to the heart.
• Muscle contractions in lower legs act as pumps
  and valves in veins open to help blood flow
  towards heart then close to stop blood from
  flowing backward.When these valves are weak or
  damaged, it will lead to some trouble.

Why varicose veins occur primarily in the legs.

• Firstly, the veins in hands and the rest of the
  body are closer to heart as compared to legs
  which are far away from the heart.
• Secondly, the gravity acts against veins in legs.
  Veins must work against gravity to return blood
  to the heart. As the veins in legs are far away
  from the heart, blood has to travel a longer way
  against gravity.
• As we spend most of our time either standing or
  sitting our veins constantly fight against the
  natural flow of gravity in order to return blood
  back to the heart.
• Thirdly, legs are being most affected because of
  sedentary lifestyle. When we sit or stand for
  longer periods of time, muscles do not contract
  as they usually do, which helps blood pump back
  towards the heart.
