Varicose veins (varices) — the enlargement and elongation of the vein (vessels, bringing the blood to the heart) of the lower limbs to the thinning of the vein wall and the formation of these nodes. The nodules are well formed as a result of the pathology of the venous wall, as well as of their insufficient valves, due to a genetic defect.

Side for reasons of varicose veins
The obstacles in the outputs of the blood in the veins. These barriers can be: a blood clot, the uterus, the tumor.
Stress and nervous disorders. They have an impact on the condition of the blood vessels. In the wall of the veins of the nerve endings that give them elasticity. The increase of the pressure in them, the impact of toxins and the alcohol of the lumen of blood vessels loses its tone and expansion.

The inability of these valves to perform its intended function causes a breach outflow of venous blood, which leads to the hyperextension veins. Because of this current of blood becomes more chaotic, the blood stagnates in the veins of the lower limbs (in particular in the sub-cutaneous), the pressure increases, the walls of the blood vessels begin to develop and become more subtle.
