Causes of varicose veins

Varicose veins of the great saphenous vein may be caused by blood circulation problems due to long-term standing, obesity, and genetic factors. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible. Sometimes our blood vessels are like a road network. If there is a traffic jam in a certain place, it is easy to cause "traffic congestion" and varicose veins. The great saphenous vein is the largest superficial vein in the lower limbs. When it becomes varicose, twisted blood vessels can be seen under the skin. This situation is more common in the lower limbs, because blood is easy to accumulate in this area due to gravity.

There are several common causes. Standing or sitting for a long time makes it difficult for blood to return to the heart in time. Excessive weight gain also puts more pressure on the veins. People with a family history of varicose veins are also more likely to develop saphenous veins. Pregnancy, high heels, tight clothing and bad living habits are also common causes. Understanding these causes can help prevent or relieve symptoms. At the same time, venous valve insufficiency is also an important factor. Once the valve is damaged, blood is easy to flow back and form varicose veins.

If you already have varicose veins, it is recommended to do moderate exercise such as brisk walking and swimming to promote blood flow in the lower limbs. At the same time, you can help blood return by raising your legs and wearing suitable elastic stockings. Proper weight loss and maintaining a healthy diet can help prevent symptoms from worsening. Try to reduce the habit of standing or sitting for long periods of time and change your body position regularly. If symptoms persist or worsen, such as pain, ulcers or inflammation, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible for professional evaluation and treatment.
