THE\u00a0ANATOMY OF THE VEINS<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two\u00a0kinds of veins in the legs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The superficial veins<\/strong>:\u00a0starting in the subcutaneous fat,\u00a0\u00a0these\u00a0are the\u00a0ones\u00a0that may\u00a0develop\u00a0varicose\u00a0veins.\u00a0There\u00a0are\u00a0two\u00a0important superficial veins in the lower limbs:
    \nthe internal\u00a0saphenous<\/span> vein<\/strong>:\u00a0from the inside of the ankle to\u00a0the groin
    \nthe external saphenous<\/span> vein<\/strong>: from the outside of the ankle to the knee bend<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. The deep veins<\/strong> running in\u00a0\u00a0between muscles, close to the bone.\u00a0While\u00a0deep veins\u00a0are not affected by varicose disease,\u00a0\u00a0they, however,\u00a0may be the site of thrombosis (blood clot in a deep vein).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      AWHAT\u00a0ARE THE VEINS\u00a0USED FOR?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

      Veins are used to bring\u00a0the blood\u00a0from\u00a0muscles and\u00a0\u00a0tissues\u00a0back to\u00a0the heart<\/span>, contrary to\u00a0arteries\u00a0that transport\u00a0blood from the heart to the organs.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Therefore,\u00a0at the level of the legs, in a\u00a0standing or a\u00a0sitting position, veins must carry the\u00a0blood up to the heart,\u00a0facing against\u00a0gravity<\/span>.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \u00a0\"\"<\/td>\n\n
      \"\"<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      To enable the\u00a0blood going\u00a0up,\u00a0the veins are equipped with\u00a0anti-backward flow valves, which\u00a0permit blood
      \nflowing\u00a0upwards and which\u00a0prevent it from falling down\u00a0towards the feet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      At\u00a0any movements of the legs and\u00a0especially\u00a0during the walk, veins get\u00a0crushed\u00a0by muscular contractions and\u00a0by movements of the\u00a0joints,\u00a0that pushes the\u00a0blood\u00a0upwards, thanks to the valves.<\/span><\/p>\n

      WHY\u00a0VARICOSE\u00a0VEINS DEVELOP ?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      This disease is related to a weakness of the venous wall<\/span>, probably with\u00a0hereditary origins. This weaknesswill worsen gradually<\/span>, and it is\u00a0favored by various risk factors such as\u00a0trades\u00a0with extended\u00a0standing position, trampling, putting on weight, pregnancy, heat, risk\u00a0sports, etc\u2026<\/p>\n

      The venous wall will end up dilating<\/span>, and\u00a0the valvules<\/span> will diverge, letting blood flee to the bottom (backward flow). This backward flow will involve an increase in pressure in the vein (hyperpression<\/span>). Dilation becomes permanent: it is a varicose vein.<\/p>\n

      A vicious circle will be created:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      The backward flow causes a hyperpression<\/span>, the hyperpression<\/span> worsens the dilation of the vein, and the more the vein dilates, the more the backward flow worsens.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      This phenomenon will extend gradually to the\u00a0nearer veins and will contaminate an increasingly wide surface venous network.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n<\/span>WHY VARICOSE VEINS REPRESENT A REAL HANDICAP ?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

      The varicose veins represent a real handicap:<\/p>\n

      For aesthetic reasons:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The varicosities or telangiectasis are skin venules, as thin as hair, in the shape of stars or legs of spider of blue, violet or red color, generally very apparent. They precede the varicose veins which are larger and very unaesthetic dilated veins.<\/p>\n

      For the comfort of life:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The varicose veins can be responsible for pains, heavness, unpleasant swelling, tingling sensations, itching or restless legs. These signs prevail especially in the evening, after one day of trampling, when the weather is hot, before periods or during a pregnancy.
      \nNight cramps are sometimes due to the varicose veins.<\/p>\n

      For health:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      More or less quickly will appear the oedemas, then gradually cutaneous disorders: brown spots appear, the skin becomes hard and fragile, with a risk of varicose ulcer.
      \nAcute complications can appear, even when the varicose veins represent only an aesthetic discomfort: the paraphlebitis, or haemorrhagic rupture<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
