Varicose veins

Varicose veins is a disease of the veins associated with a weakness in the structure of vessel walls, a tendency to stretch with the appearance of stagnant phenomena in the tissues. As a rule, the entire venous system of the body suffers to one degree or another. Depending on the nature of the work and lifestyle, the area of greatest manifestation may be different. More often it is the legs, especially in people who are engaged in heavy physical labor or who stand a lot, but the damage (although to a lesser extent) of other veins often leads to the appearance in these people of headaches of a stagnant nature, constipation, disorders of the liver and gallbladder, and in women develop a tendency to chronic diseases of the uterus and appendages.
