Abstract: Varicose veins are a common chronic venous disorder affecting 20 to 60% of adults worldwide. Varicose veins are a medical condition in which superficial veins become enlarged and twisted. A varicose vein is a palpable subcutaneous vein that is dilated, tortuous, saccular, and generally larger than 3mm and is mainly seen in lower limbs. Prolonged standing may lead to tiredness, loss of concentration and increased health risks. Some of the major risk factors are age, gender, pregnancy, family history, and prolonged standing. Nursing is a stressful profession. Due to the workload, long-standing hours and distressing incidence such as death that take place in every hospital unit, nurses are subjected to mental and physical stress that leads to mental and physical symptoms. The highest prevalence of varicose veins among the health care professionals are between nurses. The prevalence of this condition varies between professions but those with 75% of their working time in standing positions are 1.78 times more likely to develop this condition. The prevalence of varicose veins among nurses range between 16.18% and 64.6% and can go up to 73.9% in some instances when significant risk factors are present. The reported symptoms associated with this health condition were leg pain (67%), low back pain (54.4%) muscle stiffness (45.5%, heaviness (35.6%), leg swelling (30.3%), and leg numbness (19.8%). Varicose veins (VV) of the lower limbs is considered as the most common vascular disorders in humans, creating serious signs and symptoms in patients and sometimes leads to surgical treatments and widespread morbidity. Varicose veins is one of the chief preventable diseases which are associated with veins. It is a serious disease, which poses a threat to the life of patient when effective and efficient measures are not taken.
