Vein Femoral

The femoral vein is the largest vein in humans; it lies in the femoral canal along the entire thigh. Descends from bottom to top, flows into the deep vein of the thigh - tributaries: femoral-genital and deep vein of the thigh, branches into the prefemoral vein.

Function The femoral veins drain blood from the large intestine, rectum, genitals, and partly from the lower extremities. Venous flow from the lower limb is carried out through the deep veins of the thigh, then the veins of the pelvis and the inferior vena cava. When blood moves from a limb, all veins have valves.

Pathology Disturbances in the venous outflow of the lower extremity due to compression or disruption of the drainage function of the deep veins can cause swelling of the lower leg and ankle. Pathologies also include strangulation of the femoral vein, the formation of thrombotic masses or increased blood pressure, which impairs blood circulation. For example, standing for a long time contributes to the development of varicose veins in the leg. In addition, varicose veins of the lower extremities can be caused by changes in hormonal levels (hormonal varicose veins).

Procedures I will not list all possible procedures here, but you can find them yourself by searching the Internet. Here I can only say that there are several surgical techniques that are used to combat varicose veins. Every

Remember: Before resorting to treatment with exercises, you need to consult a specialist.

general information

The femoral vein (in Latin - v. femoralis) refers to the venous system, and allows blood from the lower extremities to move to the veins of the pelvis. If this vein does not function fully or is dilated, this can lead to impaired blood circulation and also provoke complications. The lower extremities will swell, which can cause not only edema, but also the risk of developing varicose veins. As statistical data show, dilation of the affected veins - femoral, subclavian - occurs in 15-30% of the population. Most often, blood vessels are dilated in people who are overweight. Besides
