A few things about spider veins
Why do Varicose veins on the legs?
Have you ever noticed those obviously protruding bluish-purple blood vessels on your legs? They may be varicose veins or spider veins,both of which are manifestations of damaged veins.
There are many tiny one-way "valves" in our veins, which are like small gates that only allow blood to flow towards the heart. But if these valves weaken, problems arise - some of the blood will flow back and accumulate in the veins.
These "lost" blood vessels accumulate more and more, just like the longer and longer queues in a traffic jam, eventually putting tremendous pressure on the venous walls. Over time, veins will be stretched and deformed, expanding, and eventually form protruding blood vessels that are visible to the naked eye.
This situation most often occurs in the legs because the blood here has to overcome gravity to flow back to the heart, and the pressure on the valves is already quite high!
