What are Varicose Veins?
Blood is carried away from the heart by arteries and back to the heart by veins. The heart pumps the blood downward to the feet but it is the contraction of the leg muscles that pumps the blood back upward to the heart.The primary leg muscle responsible for the pumping is the calf muscle. Each time the calf muscle contracts, blood is propelled upward thru veins past one-way valves. The valves prevent the backflow of blood in between muscular contractions. Varicose veins result when the one-way valves in the leg veins fail, which allows the blood to pool in the legs. The most common cause of varicose veins is an inherited disorder that affects the one-way valves.
What are the Symptoms?
Lower extremity venous insufficiency (valve failure) is progressive if not treated effectively. The symptoms can progress from pain and swelling to skin discoloration and skin ulceration. The skin discoloration is caused by the deposition of iron in the skin. Red blood cells (which contain iron) are forced outside the vein by a progressive increase in venous pressure as more and more valves within the veins fail (domino effect). The skin may eventually ulcerate if the venous pressure rises high enough to interfere with the nutritional support to the skin. Treatment (endovenous laser ablation) directed at the high venous pressures will heal the ulcerated skin.
