They are caused by a weakness of the vein walls and\/or venous valves. Normally, these valves ensure that the blood in the leg veins flows back to the heart.<\/p>\n<p>When a dysfunction occurs, blood builds up in the legs, causing the veins to dilate.<\/p>\n<p>Varicose veins are one of the most common chronic conditions in Germany. Studies show that many people have varicose veins. Around 50% of women over the age of 30 are affected. The figure for men is around 25%. This information comes from the German Society for Phlebology.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How does heat affect the veins?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. dilation of the blood vessels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At high temperatures, the body dilates the blood vessels. This allows it to release excess heat through the skin. However, this has an effect on vein function:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The vessel walls also slacken.<\/li>\n<li>Venous valves can no longer close properly.<\/li>\n<li>The venous return is disturbed.<\/li>\n<li>This leads to blood congestion in the leg veins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. increased permeability of the vessel walls<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The heat ensures that fluid escapes from the vessels into the tissue. This leads to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water retention (edema) in the legs<\/li>\n<li>Feeling of tension, swelling, pain<\/li>\n<li>Pressure on surrounding tissue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>3. reduced movement at high temperatures<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>High temperatures often lead to inactivity: we move less, avoid going for walks or exercising.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the muscle-venous pump does not work well enough. This pump helps to move blood from the legs to the heart. Varicose veins in the heat cause the blood to accumulate even more, which worsens the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the muscle-venous pump does not work well enough.
