Varicose veins is a disease that is encountered quite frequently today, but its risks are not known much, and it is mostly mentioned due to aesthetic concerns. However, it is necessary to take this vein disease seriously, which can lead to serious wounds in the leg and even loss of the leg from various levels. I will explain the questions about this disease, which is easy to treat and possible to prevent its progression when caught in the early stages, and about the veins affected by this disease in 6 articles:
Flow in the leg veins occurs in the opposite direction of gravity and completely passively
The two main factors that provide this current are the thrust of the blood in the arteries and the suction power of the heart. Apart from this, the milking effect provided in the veins by the movement of the leg muscles is one of the most important factors that support the venous flow. For this reason, sports such as running, walking and swimming are activities that prevent varicose veins.
Varicose veins is a disease often encountered in the legs.
Varicose veins is a disease characterized by enlargement that occurs with disturbances in the flow of the veins and changes in the structure of the veins. Gravity and high pressure are the most important factors in the development of varicose disease. For this reason, the leg veins, which are most affected by gravity and therefore have the highest pressure, are the vessels most affected by the process.
The vein system in the leg is quite common.
There are basically 3 vein systems in the legs. The first of these is the wider deep vein system, which is located deep and between the muscles. The second system, located between the muscles and the skin, is called the superficial venous system. The saphenous vein, one of the main vessels in this system, is also a vessel used for bypass in coronary bypass surgeries. The third and final system is the system that connects the deep system and the superficial system at various levels of the leg and is called the perforating venous system. All 3 systems can be affected by varicose disease and there are different treatment methods for all 3 systems.
In heirs Functional dysfunction occurs in the auricle.
Normally, there are valves inside the veins that allow the unidirectional movement of blood. Blood moves from the wrist to the heart in the opposite direction of gravity. During this movement, the valves in the vessel open during the upward movement of the blood, then they close and prevent the blood from escaping backwards. Structural or functional disorders that occur in these valves for various reasons cause blood to flow backwards and the development of varicose disease over time.
The veins in the lower part of the abdomen are also the veins that are affected by gravity after the legs and can develop varicose veins. Hemorrhoids developing in the anal region, varicocele in the testicles in men, and pelvic congestion syndrome, which is defined as varicose veins in the inguinal and lower abdominal veins in women, are basically diseases characterized by varicose veins.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause various problems both in the leg veins and in the vein systems that collect blood from organs such as the uterus and ovaries in the lower abdomen. During pregnancy, the increased pressure in the abdomen due to the growth of the baby during the months and the direct pressure of the various parts of the baby on the veins cause an increase in the pressure in the veins, deterioration of the flow and the development of permanent / temporary structural disorders. For this reason, women with known varicose disease or expectant mothers who have complaints that may suggest varicose veins during pregnancy (such as veins in the legs, leg swelling, leg pain) should apply to vascular surgeons.
I wish you a healthy week
