Why do varicose veins of the lower extremities appear? The cause of their appearance may be weakness of the walls or destruction of the valves of the veins as a result of inflammatory processes. The heart pumps blood rich in oxygen and nutrients to all organs and tissues through the arteries. The veins carry this blood back to the heart. When moving, the muscles push the blood through the veins against gravity, while the valves of the veins normally pass blood in one direction from the lower extremities to the heart. When the valve flaps weaken, the blood can go in the opposite direction and stagnate, leading to gradual expansion of the veins. read more

Varicose veins are the expansion and lengthening of veins, leading to their tortuosity. The expansion of veins leads to valve insufficiency. In this case, a reverse, pathological blood flow occurs, which contributes to blood stagnation in the veins. Gradually, the veins of the second and then the third order expand. Edema increases, leading to disruption of metabolic processes and the appearance of trophic changes and trophic ulcers. This is called chronic venous insufficiency. read more
