WHAT ARE VEINS?

• Veins are vessels that transport blood to the
  heart.
• In healthy leg veins, one-way valves allow blood
  to move only in one direction upstream towards
  the heart.

CAUSE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS

• When a valve fails to function, the blood can
  begin to pool in your legs and cause a variety of
  health problems including swollen ankles, blood
  clots, leg pain, spider veins, varicose veins,
  and even ulcers.

VARICOSE VEINS IN LEGS

• In your veins there are one-way valves that are
  placed about one inch apart that keep blood
  flowing in the right direction. When your leg
  muscles relax, the valves inside your veins
  close.

• This prevents the backward flow of blood, back
  down the legs.
• When your leg veins cannot bring enough blood
  back to the heart, the blood stays in your legs,
  causing various problems due to venous blood
  stasis.

6
TYPES OF VEINS

• There are three types of veins in your legs
  superficial veins, which lie close to the skin,
  deep veins, which lie in or beneath the muscles,
  and perforating veins, which connect the
  superficial to the deep veins.
