The reasons of varicose expansions of veins

The true nature of varicose expansions of veins is insufficiently clear. According to the majority of scientists and according to Jacob Bogatin, varicose expansion carries the hereditary, genetically determined character. Its principal cause is weakness of a wall of veins and infringement of function of venous valves. Venous valves occur from a wall of veins and in norm they have 2 shutters focused towards heart. At normal closure shutters blood from overlying department of a vein cannot get into underlaying department. At infringement of function of valves and incomplete closure shutters blood moves upwards-downwards, as a result there is a venous stagnation and expansion of the veins located below the valve with broken function. In the beginning varicose expanded vein appears in that place where there is a valve with the broken function, and there is a blood dump in a direction from deep veins in external, the overflowed vein is stretched, extends, that conducts to a stretching and infringement of function of the underlaying valve and so on. Gradually infringements of venous outflow of blood from the bottom finiteness to heart owing to what microblood circulation in tissues of the bottom finitenesses is broken that is shown by a hypostasis, the raised pigmentation, thrombophlebitises and trophic ulcers may develop.

How to prevent varicose expansions of veins

According to Jacob Bogatin there is now no method which would allow to completely prevent the development of varicose expansion of veins. Thanks to preventive maintenance it is possible to improve a tone of muscles that promotes microcirculation improvement in tissues, and also to improve a condition and function of veins of the bottom finitenesses, to lower risk of development of complications. Traditional and most widespread methods of preventive measures are the following ones:

1. Physical activity. Move more. Your feet should be constant in movement. During walk more favorable conditions for blood circulation in the bottom finitenesses are created. Consult your doctor. He will help you to choose the optimal kind and physical activity level.

2. Supervise your weight. At excess weight loading increases by system of blood circulation and in particular on veins. Also at the excessive use of salt it is most expressed hypostases as a result of a liquid delay in an organism increase.

3. Pay attention to what you wear. Avoid high heels. Your footwear always should be convenient. At footwear carrying on a low heel your muscles of the bottom finitenesses work much better, that promotes improvement of venous outflow. Also it is not necessary to wear uncomfortable narrow trousers and skirts.

4. Lift your feet. At a raising of feet venous outflow of blood from the bottom finitenesses improves. Try to make within day some breaks and to lift your feet upwards. For example, lay down on a back, and feet put on a pillow.

5. Avoid the long period of standing or circulation. For blood circulation improvement try as it is possible to change position of your body is more often. Change your positions every 30 minutes.

6. Do not sit with your legs criss-cross . In position crossing the legs adverse conditions for a blood-groove in both bottom finitenesses are created.
