Information from the video
The veins within the legs have one-way valves which close when the muscles relax to prevent the backward flow of blood.
When these valves malfunction because of vein walls becoming weakened, blood can pool in the veins and cause them to bulge outward. This process can be seen in the video above, showing a detailed animation of the vein system of the lower body. Most of the time you see veins bulging through the surface of the skin, this is the issue. Varicose veins are an example of this.
We specialize in the removal of varicose veins and all other bulging veins caused by venous insufficiency.
Knowing how the veins work is the first step towards helping to get them or keep them healthy.
If you are seeing varicose veins appear on the surface of your legs, schedule a consultation with Chicago Vein Institute. We offer several non-surgical treatment options along with superior diagnostic techniques to give you completely customized care for your circulatory health.
