Varicose veins of the lower extremities without ulcer or inflammation is the result of weakened or damaged vein valves, which cause blood to pool in the veins and cause them to swell and become enlarged. it is more common in people who stand for long periods of time, are overweight, pregnant, or have a family history of varicose veins. symptoms may include aching, heaviness, or swelling in the legs, as well as visible bulging veins. treatment options may include lifestyle changes, compression stockings, or endovenous laser ablation.
What happens during the disease - varicose veins of lower extremities without ulcer or inflammation
Varicose veins of the lower extremities are caused by a combination of genetic factors and lifestyle choices. the primary cause is a malfunctioning of the one-way valves in the veins, which normally keep blood flowing in one direction. when these valves become weakened or damaged, blood can pool in the veins, leading to the characteristic swelling and twisting of the veins. in addition, activities such as standing or sitting for long periods of time, pregnancy, or obesity can all contribute to the development of varicose veins.
