What is varicose veins for an ordinary person?This is fatigue in the foot, maybe with some flatulence, bluish, sometimes dark cobra.Consider what this disease is from a medical point of view.
Varicose veins (varicose veins) - enlargement and extension of veins (blood vessels that hold blood in the heart) of the lower extremities with the thinning of the venous wall and the formation of the joints from them.Nodules are formed as a result of the pathology of the venous walls as well as the insufficiency of their valves, due to a genetic defect.
Varicose veins manifest with an increase in venous pressure.
Varicose veins can occur:
- lower extremities;
- stomach and esophagus;

The most common location of the disease is - varicose veins of the lower extremities, which will be discussed today.

The causes of varicose veins
The main causes of varicose veins:

- significant increase in body weight;
- hereditary predisposition;
- Hormonal effect (pregnancy and hormonal medication).
Minor causes of varicose veins
Obstacles to blood flow through the veins.Such obstacles can be: thrombus, uterus, tumor.
Stress and nervous disorders.They affect the condition of the blood vessels.There are nerve endings on the vein wall that give them elasticity.With an increase in pressure on them, the effects of various toxins and alcohol, the vessel lumen loses the tone and expands.
Anastomic.Such curves can be formed due to pressure in the area of renewal of arterial blood cells.
Overload.In danger, lovers to pull the ribbon into the gym.In the presence of a predisposition to varicose veins, it is forbidden to overload excessive physical exercises and lifting weights.

All of these reasons contribute to the expansion of the veins, increase venous pressure and violation of normal functioning of venous valves.The consequence is the pathological flow of blood in the veins of the lower extremities - reflux (the opposite venous blood from the deep veins to the surface).They are the ones who cause the disease to worsen over time, increasing pressure on the venous system many times.
The exact blood flow, when the blood flows through the veins of the foot from the bottom up, this is achieved by using several factors: blood pressure from the arteries, shrinkage of the leg muscles during movements, and the presence of valves in the veins that prevent the reverse flow of blood.The inability of these valves to fulfill its function causes a violation of the venous blood flow, which leads to the overload of the veins.Because of this, the blood flow becomes chaotic, the blood stumbles into the veins of the lower extremities (especially in the subcutaneous), the pressure in them increases, the vessel walls begin to expand and refine.
