Let's try to find out what causes the disease. If you look inside the vein while walking with the help of a "miracle scanner", you can see that there is a valve inside the vein, the blood is being pushed, the muscles are shrinking, and the veins are shrinking. Then the valves close and the blood does not flow back. This is how veins work.
Veins are unique vessels because they have valves, while arteries do not have valves.
When we are without movement for a long time, the muscles do not contract under the force of gravity, the blood is constantly pressing,the valves dilate and insufficiency occurs.
At this point, when insufficiency occurs, the blood vessels gradually dilate and varicose veins form.
Many people think that they should not rush to the doctor with mild symptoms of the disease. So, with varicose veins in the initial phase, when spider veins appear on the legs or, if small tubercles appear, but there is no edema on the legs, pain in the lower extremities by the end of the day, and the situation only interferes aesthetically, there is no danger to health.
At this stage, home treatment is still possible.
All other situations require going to the doctor. These can be symptomatic varicose veins, skin pigmentation, burning along the veins, and night cramps and swelling in the evening.
