Spider Leg Veins

By Aneron Kepasil


Varicose and spider veins are common medical complaints that result when blood flow from outlying parts of the body back to the heart becomes compromised. Veins in the leg are the most commonly affected, particularly on the back of the calf. These veins contain a series of leaflet valves that allow only upward blood movement. Transport of blood up the leg to the heart proceeds via ladder-like steps through this series of valves. Varicose and spider veins result when vein walls develop poor tone, causing valve malfunction. Blood then stalls out on its upward journey and may even move down the leg. Valve malfunction in smaller vessels produces spider veins. In larger ones, varicose veins result. The characteristic color of varicose and spider veins, observable only for veins near the surface, derives from the bluish-red tint of oxygen-depleted venous blood.

Spider veins result from leakage of blood from weakened or damaged arteries. When leg muscles pump blood back to the heart for re-oxygenation and encounter weakened vessels, blood leaks through and pools, forming spider veins. These tiny, dilated blood vessels range in size from .5 to one millimeter in diameter and appear predominately on the legs. Spider veins themselves are not a threat to one's health; however, they result from conditions that may already be or could become serious. It is for this reason effective spider vein treatment depends on protecting and insuring the integrity of blood vessels inside our body.

Endovenous laser treatments - EVL - treats the root cause of varicose and spider veins. It's quick and safe with no scarring. However, there is a tingling and/or burning sensation, leg pain, and some aching and cramping to deal with. Note: those who opt to use this type of varicose vein treatment should keep in mind that they will not just fade away without proper treatment and, in some cases, aggravate over time.

Natural treatments that contain high levels of anthocyanidins and anti-oxidants will help strengthen the smaller blood capillaries in the body. The bilberry plant is one form of varicose vein treatment . So, if you choose this strange looking plant as your varicose vein treatment , be advised that bilberry can bring on skin rashes, stomach aches, and drowsiness. Be advised that over use of bilberry as a tea or otherwise can have serious consequences.

Compression stockings are pantyhose socks designed to help with varicose veins removal. It gives comfort, and it promotes better circulation. They are generally recommended for busy people who sit, stand or travel for long hours. Physicians support its use as a preventative measure and after having sclerotherapy to avoid the reappearance of spider veins and varicose veins.

Whatever mode of action you choose to take wheather it be varicose vein surgery, compression stalkings, or Venovil supplements see a physician first and make sure you're making the right decision for your condition.
