Want Healthier Legs? Rethink Your Habits Varicose veins aren’t just cosmetic—they signal a deeper circulatory issue. Smoking and alcohol play a big role in damaging your veins. Smoking constricts blood flow, while alcohol inflames and enlarges the veins, weakening them over time. This can lead to discomfort, heaviness, and more visible veins. Dr. Jathin, a highly experienced vascular surgeon in Mumbai, provides effective varicose veins treatment that tackles the problem at its root—alongside lifestyle advice for lasting results.
