Ubiquitous Varicose veins

The ubiquitous varicose veins

Did you know that hemorrhoids, ugly blue veins on the legs, varicoceles, and varicose veins of the stomach or esophagus are practically the same disease, only affecting different human organs? And if the initial manifestations of varicose veins on the legs are not fatal in themselves, then varicose veins of the stomach or esophagus are a direct threat to human life.

Beautiful legs are not for everyone

The vast majority of people are well aware, first of all, about varicose veins of the lower extremities. Of course, because slender, smooth legs are the dream of every woman and, in a certain sense, the dream of every man. However, only rare representatives of the fair sex live to an old age without acquiring noticeably bulging veins on their legs.

Varicose veins are a manifestation of the syndrome of weak connective tissue, which makes up the walls of the veins. Most often, this misfortune is inherited from you. So if one of your parents suffered from varicose veins, get ready, you will most likely encounter this disease.

Varicose veins as a cause of infertility

Varicose veins of the lower extremities are more common in women, but you should not complain about your bitter fate and look enviously at male representatives passing by. Everyone has their own priorities. And if varicose veins hit precisely what is most important for women - their beauty, then men have their own known weak spot.

The “rear” problem comes first

Varicose veins are the cause of another extremely common disease - hemorrhoids. And this disease is also the prerogative of our species exclusively due to the ability to walk on two legs.

You can die from varicose veins

But, in the end, no one has ever died from hemorrhoids, trophic ulcers, or even less from infertility. But people die from liver cirrhosis, and in 70 percent of cases this occurs due to internal bleeding of the esophagus or stomach. The cause of bleeding is varicose veins of the esophagus or stomach - and sometimes both combined.
