Causes of Spider Veins

By Aneron Kepasil


The problem of spider veins has been around for quite some time and there are many causes of spider veins. Spider veins occur when the walls in the veins become weak which leads to an enlargement of the blood vessels. This is the medical definition, however there is a list of other causes of spider veins to include, overexposure to the sun, hormone imbalances, smoking, drinking alcohol, heredity, smoking and obesity.

Depending on how bad the conditions get a physician may prescribe special socks. These socks called compression stalkings are made of elastic and are designed to constrict the legs and stop excess blood from flowing in to them. Sometimes these socks will have to be worn for the rest of the patient's life and other times this alone will be enough to stop the problem

Other factors that cause varicose veins include obesity, the added pressure of pregnancy on the legs, standing for long periods, chronic constipation, and old age.

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.

If the problem is just beginning a natural way to be able to relieve the long term issue of spider veins is by exercise. If the issue has been untreated for a while exercise may be counterproductive though. If you are going to go about this particular natural method of treating this problem you are also going to want to elevate your legs after exercise. This will help prevent the swelling and discomfort afterward.

The last solutions that I have found is Venovil. This is based on working on the problem from the inside out. This supplement is packed with flavonoids, the same items that help from berries. This supplement to help reduce spider veins is also high in enzymes that help get rid of the cause of these spider veins.
