This is achieved thanks to the work of the thorax, the pump function of the heart, the tension of the diaphragm muscles, the lower limbs, as well as by the presence of formations of smooth muscle – bivalve valves. These valves prevent the reverse current of the venous blood.
The veins of the lower limbs are presented superficial and deep venous network. Under the influence of various triggering factors (excess weight, endocrine disorders, "stand-up" nature of the job, pregnancy) develops an insufficiency of the valves, leading to an overflow of the deep veins of blood.
The excess of blood from the deep veins discharged into surface waters. As a result, the superficial veins are also overfilled with blood, the lining of the stretch, the length increases, the result that appears pathological of the disease by the presence of the nodes. Thus formed is the varicose vein disease.
The treatment of the varicose disease aims to:
