What are the causes of varicose veins?

The causes of varicose veins can hide completely different diseases. However, most people who have vascular "stars" are not worried about their health, but about the aesthetic appearance of the body. And this is their main mistake. After eliminating the visible veins with the help of laser surgery, but without changing their habitual way of life, a person risks to again find in himself this trouble.

The most likely causes of varicose veins

• Significant decrease in the tone of veins and vessels in the lower limbs.
• Too high blood pressure in the veins.
• Incomplete work of valves of veins and vessels in the lower limbs.
• Insufficient load on the muscular tissues of the legs.

Causes of varicose veins: a significant decrease in the tone of veins and vessels in the lower limbs

As a rule, the tone of the veins is provided due to their muscular thickness and activity. However, the paralytic effect of toxins (eg, bacteria during influenza or other inflammatory diseases) "inhibits" the normal functioning of the vessels, resulting in the formation of "stars". By the way, in the fair sex, who are in the position, the relaxation of the muscular vein skeleton is due to the hormone progesterone, which is favorable for bearing a child. It is also worth noting that the reduced vascular tone is very often inherited.

Causes of varicose veins: overestimated blood pressure in the veins

Man is the only creature in which about 70% of the venous blood must withstand the force of gravity of the Earth. In this regard, those people who are for a long time in a vertical position, significantly increases the physiological venous pressure in the vessels of the legs. In addition, if such a person additionally burdens himself with any weights, the pressure in the lower limbs increases many times, which provokes injury to blood vessels and veins.

Causes of varicose veins: inferior operation of valves of veins and vessels in the lower limbs

Inside each vessel there are valves, which are small processes of the inner membrane of the veins, called the endothelium. Thus, when the muscle tissue of the legs relaxes, the blood begins to circulate badly through the blood vessels, thereby traumatizing these tiny protuberances, which later can not perform their work. After that, the pressure in the veins increases significantly, creating "stars" on the legs.

Varicose veins: the causes of the onset. No sufficient load on the leg muscular tissue

Each subsequent contraction of leg muscular tissue compresses the walls of the veins, forcing the blood to move further. If a person does not do much sports, then his vessels with valves become incapable of the function of "pump". In this case, the blood is delayed, thereby increasing the pressure and forming varicose "stars".

Summing up all the above reasons for the appearance of varicose veins, we can safely say that such a nuisance arises because of:

• Heredity;
• Sex (most often in women during pregnancy or while taking hormonal drugs);
• Increased pressure inside the veins (causes - lifting weights, low physical activity, obesity).
