Varicose veins are a pathological process in which the veins are damaged with a further increase in the diameter of the lumen and thinning of the venous wall. The process is accompanied by the formation of local aneurysm-like extensions, called "nodes". The most common variant of the disease is varicose veins of the lower extremities, which today affects one in three women and one in ten men. These varicose veins have two types - internal and reticular (venous mesh). The disease begins, as a rule, at working age - up to forty years. In addition, the more a person leads a sedentary life, the higher the risk of developing varicose veins.
In addition to the pathology of the lower extremities, there is an expansion of the veins of the esophagus and stomach, small pelvis, spermatic cord and testes (varicocele). Sometimes varicose veins are found on the face, in the form of varicose veins. Enlargement of the veins in the uterus is a rather rare phenomenon, but still ongoing. The disease is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of specific symptoms.
Treating the disease in any of its manifestations is not only important, but also vital. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious complications, including thrombophlebitis.
