What are the causes of varicose veins?

Women are terrified of something, and this is varicose veins. However, they do not know very well what it is and what are the causes that cause it to be generated. That is why in this article we will review this disease so that you can fully understand this problem once and for all.

Varicose veins is the colloquial name that has been given to the dilation suffered by the veins and that prevent them from fulfilling their function of transporting blood properly.

In general, the dilations that appear in the legs receive this name, however, it also affects men in the testicles and the name it receives is that of varicoceles. It affects women to a greater extent and the chances of it appearing increase as the years go by.

The reason why they appear is due to the structure of the leg. As is known, the blood must travel throughout the body to carry oxygen and nutrients, and this is achieved thanks to the veins.

When the blood must return from the leg, it must be able to rise with great force, which is why on the plantar surface it exists like a sponge that absorbs the blood and when the foot is pressed against the floor it gives it the necessary force to go up.

In turn, the veins have valves that prevent the blood from returning, however, sometimes these valves do not fulfill their function and that is when they begin to dilate.

Varicose veins are not aesthetic at all, and they cause discomfort in women because they do not have the legs that they want.

However, it is possible to carry out treatments to correct this problem of varicose veins, which is why our recommendation is that you go to a doctor to inform you of the options that exist.
