How does blood circulate in the leg after varicose veins are removed?
Your leg has two vein types – superficial and deep veins. Deep veins are responsible for carrying blood to your heart. This is supported by squeezing muscles, which occurs in movements such as walking. Superficial veins, however, are closer to your skin’s surface and not supported by your leg muscles, so the blood in these veins is not carried to the heart. The blood flowing within superficial veins is usually diverted into your deep veins via connecting veins valves. Varicose veins affect superficial veins only, so after these are discarded, your blood flow will then return to your deep veins, improving your blood flow and circulation.
I hope this blog has provided you with a good foundation of knowledge about varicose veins and their removal. You can find a wealth of further information online to feel more informed and prepared about the procedure.
However, ultimately the best way to receive expert advice and find out the most suitable option for you is to arrange a consultation with an expert Vascular Consultation Surgeon.
