Abstract

Varicose veins square measure veins that became enlarged and tortuous. The term usually refers to theveins on the leg, though unhealthy veins will occur elsewhere. Veins have leaflet valves to stop bloodfrom flowing backwards (retrograde flow or reflux). Leg muscles pump the veins to come back bloodto the Heart (the calf muscle pump mechanism), against the results of gravity. When veins becomeunhealthy, the leaflets of the valves now not meet properly, and the valves do not work (valvularincompetence). This permits blood to flow backwards and that they enlarge even more. Deep veinthrombosis or deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein. A clot within a vessel isnamed as occlusion. DVT predominantly occurs in the legs. When symptoms are present for clots in theleg, the nonspecific signs embody pain, swelling, redness, warmness, and full superficial veins. Thepresent study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of health instructional module on varicose veinand DVT and its preventive measures among laborers of selected small scale industries of GreaterNoida.
