Varicose veins are convoluted, expanded, and stretched subcutaneous veins of the lower leg and are the most frequently reported medical condition. This condition has a higher prevalence in Western and developed countries. Inadequacy of the valves results in reflux of blood in the veins of the lower leg. The present study aims to describe the epidemiology and contributing factors (risk factors and pathological factors) in the development of varicose veins disease. PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Google Scholar, SciFinder, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were explored to include potential research and review articles. Finally, 65 articles were considered appropriate to include in the study. Pain, swelling, heaviness, and tingling of the lower limbs are the most common sign and symptoms caused by varicose veins while in some individuals it is asymptomatic. The Prevalence of varicose veins varies geographically. Currently, it is reported that globally about 2%–73% of the population is affected by varicose veins while the prevalence rate in Pakistan is 16%–20%. Different risk factors associated with the advancement of varicose veins are age, gender, occupation, pregnancy, family history, smoking, BMI and obesity, exercise, genetic factor, and current lifestyle. In varicose veins, some contributory elements may also play an important role in the disease development, incorporating constant venous wall aggravation, hereditary variation, and persistent venous hypertension. This condition has now turned into a curable issue that was previously viewed broadly as less important for treatment, determining the individual’s satisfaction. Moreover, the mechanisms behind the risk factors involve diet, physical work, and hormonal contribution. These are more likely to be explored.

Health is not something that one possesses as a commodity, but connotes rather a way of functioning within one’s environment (work, recreation, and living). Occupational environment plays a major role on the health of the exposed. The health hazards get more severe when the duration of exposure increases. Millions of traffic police spend majority of the working day standing and many hours in static positions. Standing uses 20% more energy than sitting because the human body is not designed to stand continuously at work. An descriptive study was conducted among 50 traffic police of selected traffic police station of Hubballi-Dharwad. Non-probability; Convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample and data was collected by structured knowledge questionnaire. The research design used for the study was descriptive. Data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Overall result of the study revealed that 02(4%) subjects had good knowledge, 39(78%) subjects had average knowledge and 09(18%) subjects had poor knowledge on varicose veins and its management. The study concluded that traffic police had average knowledge regarding prevention and management of varicose veins.
