What is Varicose Veins

Causes of Varicose Veins

The blood vessels of the leg have one-way valves in which the elongation or loss of flexibility causes damage to these valves and disrupts their functioning, in which the blood supply to the heart is difficult and accumulated in the vessels.

The reason for the increased varicose veins in the legs is that the distance between the legs and the heart is much and gravity overcomes the body, therefore, increases the likelihood of varicose in humans. The factors that cause varicose veins are:

  • Pregnancy
  • Pressure
  • Age
  • Surgery or foot injuries
  • Menopause
  • Standing for a long time
  • Overweight and obesity
  • Genetics
  • Sex

  • Cramps of the leg muscles when lifting a person
  • White wounds on the ankle

In some cases, people do not feel pain or discomfort, and it only looks strikingly unpleasant.

In practice, splitting and closing is performed as an outpatient and causes bruises, bleeding and severe pain. For one to three weeks, it is advisable to use leg compression socks to finish the recovery. There is another method called Phlebotomy, which is an outpatient procedure and through local anesthesia the doctor removes varicose veins. This also causes infection and color changes in the affected area.

Other methods

There are many modern and contemporary methods such as Sclerotherapy, Microsclerotherapy and laser. Following are the way in which they work.

Lasers

In this method, they use erosion of small veins or spider veins. By laser light, they bleed the veins and cause the veins to disappear.

Summary:

Varicose is caused by an abnormality in the valve of the vessels in the legs due to the distance between the legs and the heart and the gravity of the earth. It is usually advisable to refrain from any surgery and tolerate it, but in some cases in the case of pain and swelling surgery is needed.
