Why do people get varicose veins, and what people are prone to varicose veins

It has been proven that women's venous diseases of the lower extremities are closely related to pregnancy and the postpartum period. During pregnancy, the uterus gradually enlarges, and the enlarged uterus continues to compress the inferior vena cava and iliac vein, so that the venous blood return of the lower extremities is not smooth, resulting in a continuous increase in the venous pressure of the lower extremities. In addition, the blood volume increases in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and the activity decreases, which makes the vein wall thinner, and the progesterone leads to the weakening of blood vessel elasticity; Blood composition changes, and water enters tissues more easily; Varicose veins or thickening of blood vessels occur due to increased blood clotting, mainly as dilated, sinuous and tortuous superficial veins in the lower legs and ankles.

These unfavorable factors make pregnant women more likely to develop varicose veins of the lower extremities, and the prevalence is significantly higher than that of non-pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant expectant mothers face daily pains: fatigue, restlessness, heavy legs, strain; At night, the calves are tingling and cramping, and the feet are swollen.

Statistics show that 30% of first-time pregnant mothers suffer from varicose veins; More than 50% of mothers with multiple pregnancies suffer from varicose veins. 1-2 months after giving birth is the high incidence period of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, venous thrombosis of the lower limbs is related to the use of a large number of hemostatic drugs and too little activity during the postpartum recovery, the mother is often locked in the house during the "confinement" period and is not allowed to go out, even bedridden, the amount of natural activity is reduced, and the blood circulation speed is slowed down, which constitutes the main cause of thrombosis.

In addition, in order to give birth to milk, eat a lot of fat-containing food, resulting in an increase in blood viscosity, which is also one of the causes of venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. These problems are not only unsightly, but also harmful to the health of pregnant women and dangerous to both mother and baby. For varicose veins during pregnancy, there is no need to go through surgery or drugs to avoid affecting the fetus, and the important measures are to use medical elastic stockings to artificially improve blood circulation in the lower limbs, reduce edema of the lower limbs, relieve the pain and discomfort caused by varicose veins, and prevent the aggravation of varicose veins.

In addition, it is appropriate to increase activities during pregnancy, avoid standing for too long, sitting for a long time, and move less, so as to improve blood circulation in the lower limbs and prevent and reduce varicose veins.

What are varicose veins? Why varicose veins.

There are two scenarios for this:1congenital vascular valve insufficiency, congenital vascular disease is weak; 2.Standing for long periods of time, heavy physical exertion, and increased abdominal pressure during pregnancy. Even if it is a congenital and an external cause, it will appear.

The early symptoms of varicose veins are the blood vessels on the calves, varicose like earthworms, which are clearly prominent, the protruding blood vessels are clumps or nodules, the limbs are sore, there is pigmentation, scaling and itching, the feet are swollen, there is a pinprick sensation and an itching sensation, numbness, and a burning sensation.

There are two main causes of varicose veins in the lower extremities: internal causes: Congenital weakness of the venous wall and venous valve insufficiency (familial genetic factors). External causes: Increased venous pressure in the lower extremities (acquired factors such as age, prolonged standing or sitting, pregnancy).

The main reason for the formation of varicose veins is due to the congenital vascular wall membrane is relatively weak or the same posture is rarely changed for a long time, blood accumulates in the lower limbs, and the venous valve is destroyed over time and the venous pressure is too high, which is a symptom of the protruding surface of the blood vessels. Varicose veins mostly occur in the lower limbs, and some patients can form thrombosis in the superficial veins of varicose veins, which is manifested as local redness, swelling and pain, the formation of hard lumps, and the pain affects walking. If left untimely**, the blood clot may spread upward or through the communicating vein to the deep vein, causing deep vein thrombosis and a life-threatening risk of pulmonary embolism.

Varicose veins are a common disease in vascular surgery, and there are three main reasons for the disease: 1. Weak vein wall. 2. Venous valve function defects.

3. The pressure in the superficial vein is increased, in which the weakness of the vein wall and the defect of the venous valve are congenital factors and are related to heredity. Long-term standing, heavy physical labor, pregnancy, chronic cough, habitual constipation, etc. are acquired factors, which put excessive pressure on the valve, causing the valve to gradually relax and cannot close tightly. Overload of circulating blood can also cause increased pressure, dilated veins, and relative valvular insufficiency, which predispose to varicose veins.

Varicose veins are more common in people who stand for a long time and sit for a long time. For example, teachers, service staff, hostesses, hairdressers, surgeons, etc., due to long-term standing and gravity, blood circulation is concentrated in the lower limbs, resulting in varicose veins. Usually avoid standing and sitting for a long time, you can take a proper walk, you can take elastic stockings to relieve varicose veins in the early stage, and those with serious conditions should go to the hospital for acceptance**.

Sitting for a long time will affect the blood circulation of the lower limbs, and it will be better to apply it with Yihuoyuan.

Varicose veins are a common condition and are mainly due to weak venous walls, venous defects, and increased intravenous pressure. Normally, varicose veins tend to occur in the lower limbs of the human body, but generally after the patient stands, the superficial veins of the lower limbs are bent and dilated, and the patient feels weakness and soreness in the lower limbs, or feels edema around the ankles and the instep of the feet. When the patient is in a longer condition, the lower end of the calf and the ankle have the formation of hyperpigmentation, dermatitis, eczema, and venous ulcers.

Elderly: Because the blood vessels of the elderly have aged, various vascular diseases follow, and at the same time, due to the thinning of the blood vessel walls, the elderly are more likely to suffer from varicose veins, and the probability of disease will be higher for the elderly with obvious physical function decline.

Obese people: This group of people is also a high incidence of the disease, which is due to the obesity of people who are overweight, and the fat accumulated in the upper abdomen will cause pressure on the lower limbs and lead to poor blood circulation in the lower limbs, which is easy to induce.

Pregnant women: The pressure of the pelvis will increase after the pregnancy of the woman, which will force the venous blood vessels to dilate, and as the baby continues to develop, the pressure in the pelvis of the pregnant woman will increase, which will cause the pregnant woman to suffer from varicose veins.

People who do not sit for a long time: People who have been working for a long time are also prone to diseases, which is due to the fact that standing for a long time will cause blood to not flow back, and the congestion of the legs for a long time will cause pressure on the blood vessels.

Varicose veins refer to pathological conditions in which veins are dilated, lengthened, and twisted. It occurs mainly in the deep and superficial veins of the lower extremities, but it can also affect veins in other parts. The main cause of varicose veins is an abnormality in blood circulation in the veins, which leads to the accumulation of blood in the veins and obstruction of the backflow.

The following are the main factors that can lead to varicose veins:

1.Venous valve dysfunction: The valves in the veins play a role in preventing the backflow of blood. If the vein valves are damaged or weakened, blood can flow backwards through the veins, increasing the pressure in the veins and eventually leading to varicose veins.

2.Structural abnormalities of the vein wall: Structural and elastic abnormalities of the vein wall may be a trigger for varicose veins. If the vein walls are excessively fragile or less elastic, the veins tend to dilate and deform.

3.Increased intravenous pressure: Prolonged standing or sedentary periods, obesity, uterine compression during pregnancy, abdominal tumors, and other factors may increase pressure in the veins of the lower extremities, leading to varicose veins.

4.Genetic factors: Genetic factors play a role in the occurrence of vein varicogenesis. People with a family history are more likely to develop varicose veins, suggesting that genetic factors may be related to vein wall structure and valve function.

5.Sex and age: Women are more likely to develop varicose veins, which may be related to the effects of female hormones. In addition, as we age, the function of the vein walls and valves gradually declines, increasing the risk of developing varicose veins.

6.Other factors: Other factors such as muscle weakness, deep vein thrombosis, cirrhosis, etc., may also increase the risk of varicose veins.

Preventive measures for varicose veins include maintaining a healthy weight, being active regularly, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting for long periods of time, elevating the lower limbs, wearing supportive socks, etc. For those who already have varicose veins.

Varicose veins are a common vascular disease, mainly due to the damage or dysfunction of the walls and valves of the spinal veins, resulting in obstruction of blood return, dilation, varicose and deformation of blood vessels, and obvious subcutaneous varicose veins. The occurrence of varicose veins may be related to the following factors:

1.Genetic factors: Varicose veins can run in families, and if your parents or relatives have a history of varicose veins, then you can also develop the condition.

2.Age: As we age, the walls of blood vessels become loose and valve function declines, which leads to obstruction of blood return and increases the risk of varicose veins.

3.Lifestyle habits: Long-term standing, sedentary, obesity, lack of exercise and other lifestyle habits may cause the occurrence of varicose veins of the lower limbs.

4.Female factors: Women have a higher rate of varicose veins than men, which may be related to factors such as hormone levels in women, pregnancy and fertility.

If you suspect you have varicose veins, seek medical attention and have your diagnosis and diagnosis carried out by a medical professional. At the same time, some preventive measures can also be taken, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, wearing appropriate socks, exercising regularly, etc.

1.The venous blood in the body itself will produce a certain pressure on the valve due to the action of gravity, and it will not cause damage to the valve under normal circumstances, but when the pressure in the vein continues to rise, the valve will gradually relax and prolapse due to excessive pressure, which will lead to the incomplete closure of the valve, thus forming varicose veins.

2.Weak vein wall, valve defect, is also the main cause of varicose veins, valve damage effect generally occurs in the highest position of the saphenofemoral vein valve, so patients often manifest as saphenous varicose veins, if the vein wall is relatively weak, under the action of venous pressure will also appear dilated, which will lead to the original vein valve can not be tightly closed, resulting in valve insufficiency, blood reflux, resulting in patients disease.

3.Age and occupation are the main causes of people suffering from varicose veins, a lot of medical data are showing that the average number of people who suffer from varicose veins after sitting for a long time reaches 30%, engaged in standing work and heavy physical labor, the people who suffer from this disease account for 60%, and the probability of people suffering from varicose veins for a long time is only 10%.

4.Varicose veins occur due to weak vein walls, venous valve defects, and increased pressure in the superficial veins. Weak vein walls and defective vein valves are related to genetic factors.

Acquired factors such as prolonged standing, pregnancy, cough and constipation cause the venous valves to be subjected to excessive pressure and gradually relax and cannot close tightly. Circulating blood volume is often overloaded, which can also cause increased pressure, dilated veins, and relative valvular insufficiency. Since the farther the centrifugation, the higher the venous pressure experienced by the vein.

Varicose veins are much more pronounced in the lower legs than in the upper thighs, and the progression of the lower legs is more rapid than in the large empty legs.

Prolonged exposure to heavy physical activity or standing for long periods of time can lead to varicose veins. This is because these conditions can cause the venous valves to be subjected to greater venous pressure, resulting in regurgitation of venous blood, resulting in excessive accumulation of venous blood in the blood vessels of the lower limbs. Varicose veins can also occur if the vein wall is weak or the valve is insufficient.

This causes varicose veins to form in the lower extremities due to gravity when the patient is in a standing position or when venous pressure is elevated, through a valve that is not fully closed.

People who work on their feet, pregnant women, and the elderly are susceptible to varicose veins because their legs are under tremendous pressure, which causes blood to act on the venous valves, causing the veins to function impaired, and the blood cannot flow back properly, resulting in varicose veins.

People who stand a lot, older people, pregnant women, people with congenital weak vein walls, people with genetics, and people who work in the office for a long time are prone to varicose veins.

Elderly people, teachers, pregnant women, sedentary people, and people with varicose veins in their families are more likely to get varicose veins.

Why do many young people now also experience symptoms of varicose veins? What causes varicose veins?

Varicose veins in young people may be caused by increased abdominal pressure. During pregnancy, blood return to the veins of the lower extremities may be affected, leading to secondary superficial venous dilation and even phlebitis. In addition, working upright for long periods of time and bearing weight can also affect blood circulation.

However, congenital dysplasia, venous valve insufficiency of the lower extremities, or local stenosis can also cause distal varices. Of course, young people may have varicose veins. The cause of varicose veins is the structural abnormality of the vein wall, the main cause of varicose veins of the lower extremities caused by venous hypertension.

The underlying cause is congenital weakness of the vein wall or poor structure and function of the venous valve. The predisposing factors are long-term participation in heavy physical labor, prolonged standstillation, and low lower limb activity.

There are many causes of varicose veins. For example, people who sit for a long time, or work by standing for a long time, are prone to varicose veins. Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that form when the check valve that regulates blood flow weakens.

Although they can develop in any blood vessel, they usually originate in the legs. People with varicose veins should avoid standing or sitting still for long periods of time and learn to sit idly by and self-adjust, such as standing with their left and right legs rotated. When the valves in the veins stop working properly, it is difficult for blood to flow back from the legs to the heart.

Because blood stagnates, the veins become inflamed and varicose veins form. While many cases are related to genetic factors, the condition tends to worsen due to physical overwork or obesity.

Eat a light diet and try to avoid long-term consumption of spicy foods, including coffee, tea, chili peppers, etc. , because when drinking spicy food, it can aggravate local vasodilation, thereby aggravating venous congestion, resulting in aggravation of varicose veins; Changing bad habits, avoiding sitting for a long time, soaking feet in hot water, stilting legs when sitting, avoiding improper massage of calves and feet, and acupuncture of calves may cause varicose veins and even aggravate them; For people who stand for a long time, such as teachers, doctors, workers, etc., it is recommended to wear compression stockings when going to work to promote venous return;
