Veins and the causes of their disease
Varicose veins are, unfortunately, a widespread disease, which consists in enlarging the lumen and loss of the elasticity of the vessel wall, which sooner or later leads to aesthetic and physical discomforts, as well as other health problems.
Why does our blood, bypassing the laws of attraction, flow upwards? There is an inverse blood flow - thanks to the human skeletal muscles, which nature has turned into peculiar pumps. With contractions of the heart, a light pulse of the biotok wave propagates through the body, which causes a slight contraction of the muscles.
That in turn gives an additional push to move the venous blood up. A disease like varicose veins causes can have a wide variety. Often the patient is attacked by several factors.
Decreased vascular tone
Tonus depends on the wall thickness of the vein and muscle activity. The activity of muscle elements can be negatively affected by the action of toxins of certain bacteria( for example, with periodontitis, influenza, pyelonephritis, rheumatism).
. Hereditary predisposition of
Unfortunately, we can inherit from parents not only blue eyes, but even varicose veins of the esophagus - the causes of whichIt will be in the pedigree of your family. If one of the parents suffers varicose veins, the possibility of developing the disease is 70 percent!
But scientists have established that inheritance is not the disease itself, but the inherent features of the structure of the veins. One or both factors are transmitted: the weakness of the connective tissue of the walls of the vessels and the genetically determined inferiority of the veins valves. This very rare disease, like varicose veins in the arms, has a predominantly hereditary predisposition.
Hormonal changes
Women often get varicose during puberty, second or more pregnancy, after childbirth, and when menopause occurs. It has been repeatedly researched and proven that women are more predisposed to varicose veins, the causes of which lie in regular hormonal changes in the body.
The influence of hormonal factors on varicose veins is growing every year more and more. This is due to hormonal contraception and hormone replacement therapy used in the treatment of menopause. Hormones are prescribed for metabolic disorders.
It has been repeatedly confirmed that female sex hormones, as well as their synthetic analogues, significantly reduce venous tone. Hormones slowly destroy the collagen fibers of the vessels.
Nervous profession and lifestyle with a minimum of movement
If a person suffers from nervous illnesses - this also contributes to the development of varicose veins. An ugly affliction chooses people and by specialties - a long standing or sedentary work - means you risk encountering protruding veins.
Surprisingly, even race matters, not to mention excess weight. Europe, obese and leading a way of life, far from even a small sport - here is a portrait of a future or present patient with varicose veins.

In the treatment of folk methods used various tinctures, herbal decoctions and dietary supplements. But the expressed effect will not be, as at a considerable degree of disease this method is powerless. Traditional medicine for varicose veins should be used as an additional, not substitution therapy.
A separate direction is the treatment of varicose veins with leeches. Hirudotherapy is a whole science, but unfortunately, small healers are not able to return the wall of a greatly expanded vein into a normal state.
