Beautiful and well-groomed legs - not just a business card of a woman, but also a sign of health! Do not forget that varicose veins are not just a cosmetic defect. Specific changes that develop in this disease, lead to disruption of nourishment (trophism) of the skin, discomfort when walking and other troubles. Our legs are real hard workers! Just think what a tremendous load they endure every day. Regularly show concern for your legs, and they will please you with beauty and health.

The physiological role of venous vessels is the return of spent or, more accurately, oxygen depleted blood to the heart. The blood flow in the desired direction is promoted by the flap valves, which are located on the inner shell of the veins. The failure of the valves and the genetically determined weakness of the vascular wall are the main reasons for the formation of varicose veins.

In addition, the emergence of varicose predisposes a number of external and internal factors. Vessels of the lower extremities experience a significant load due to their location: the blood flow proceeds from the bottom up. That is why varicose veins most often occur on the legs. Movement of blood is helped by contractions of the muscles of the lower limbs that occur during movement.

Static stresses on the legs, for example, work standing or sitting, make blood outflow difficult, which provokes the development of varicose veins.

Pay attention! Factor - a provoker of development of varicose during pregnancy - a hormonal background. The "relaxing" effect of progesterone also affects the venous vessels. In addition, the growing uterus, mechanically squeezing large venous trunks and pelvic floor veins, complicates the outflow of blood.
