    Thrombophlebitis is also a complication of long-term venous stagnation, because local blood clots appear after slow blood flow. For example, local blood vessels dilate, the surface is thinned, and bleeding after scratching is also a complication. The more serious case is thrombophlebitis, in which the blood clot passes through the valve to the deep vein, and deep vein thrombosis occurs, and the blood clot falls off to the lungs, forming a pulmonary embolism called pulmonary infarction.

    3. Edema and pigmentation: varicose veins are prone to reflux, patients often have symptoms of edema of the lower limbs when they get up in the morning, and long-term venous hypertension will lead to increased capillary permeability in the calf area, so that the ferritin is deposited under the skin, and finally the patient's ** will turn black.

    Varicose veins of the lower leg are one of the most important diseases and one of the most common diseases of the blood vessels of the extremities. Varicose veins mostly occur in the lower extremities.

    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, resulting in high venous pressure, which makes the blood vessels protrude from the surface of the ** surface.

Venous injury: patients with long-term varicose veins have weak vein walls, high venous pressure, and insufficient local blood supply to cause muscle and adipose tissue atrophy, and varicose veins protrude under the skin, and ulcers will occur if they are mildly damaged, and the vein walls are easily damaged.

    3. Edema and hyperpigmentation: due to venous reflux, patients often present with edema of the affected limb in the morning and severe in the evening. Long-term venous hypertension leads to increased capillary permeability in the calf area, rupture after red blood cell exudation, and herubukin is deposited under the skin, making ** blacken, from punctate to flaky development.

    4. Bleeding and ulcers: The area through which the varicose veins of the lower limbs pass through is very fragile due to insufficient nutrition, and minor trauma can easily lead to the rupture of varicose veins and cause massive bleeding.

    Standing is a key to distinguishing us humans from animals. But standing causes our heart to rise, so that the distance from the heart to the soles of the feet increases significantly, so the increased venous pressure causes the blood vessels in our calves to increase, and the venous blood flows back to the heart from all around. The basic force of venous return is the pressure difference between the venules (also called peripheral veins) and the vena cava or right atrium (also called central veins).

    An increase in venous pressure or a decrease in vena cava pressure can favor venous return.

    Varicose veins of the lower limbs mostly occur in the saphenous vein and its branches, that is, on the inner side of the calf, and in severe cases, it can be extended upwards to the upper part of the inner thigh, and even the whole lower limb can be seen as varicose veins that are contorted into clumps (most patients with varicose veins mainly occur on the inner side of the calf) swelling and heaviness. As the disease progresses, there will be a distinctly tortuous venous mass or even a venous bulb, which will gradually worsen. It is more obvious after standing for a long time, and after walking, the lower limbs feel more sore, and you must stop to rest, which is called "venous claudication" in medicine.

    The most common occurrence is in the lower extremities. When there is a problem with the venous valves of the lower limbs, the blood cannot flow back normally, but flows backwards into some small blood vessels, which in the long run, causing the pressure on the superficial veins to increase, which is manifested as "green tendon bulge". However, the vein valves of the lower extremities are already weak, and if the vein walls lose their elasticity, the valves may become even weaker.

    Eventually, the blood flows backwards due to gravity. After reflux, blood accumulates in the veins, and then blood vessels dilate and swell.

    The sequelae of deep vein thrombosis is one of the important causes of varicose veins, which lead to venous embolism and venous return disorders, resulting in compensatory dilation of superficial veins and eventually varicose veins. , although the time is slow, but its effect is very recognized. Coated with trixonin, the active ingredient goes directly to the inside of the varicose to help replenish vascular nutrition, repair damaged venous valves, dredge stagnant blood vessels, and calm varicose from the root cause of formation.

    The cause of varicose veins is the impaired blood return, one is the gravitational effect of venous return, the other is valve insufficiency, the blood is deposited in the vein after reflux, and the third is the structural abnormality of the vein itself, such as the weak wall of the vein, especially women are more prone to varicose veins.

    Varicose veins are caused by weak veins and valves in the legs. When these valves don't function properly, blood builds up in the lower limbs, and pressure increases, causing the veins to thin, dilate, and twist.
