Venous valves

Veins are the channels through which blood with a low oxygen content flows from the organs and muscles to the heart. The deep veins within the muscles are responsible for most of the return of blood to the legs. Valve-like flaps in the veins allow the blood to bridge the difference in height between the heart and the legs of about one and a half meters. The venous valves only allow blood to flow towards the heart.

Venous valves: Non-return valves in the vein area

The venous valves allow the blood to flow in one direction only: back to the heart.

The function of the venous valves can be impaired or destroyed by injury, inflammation or risk factors (e.g. age, genes, gender, previous illnesses, occupation). The leg muscles then cause the blood to be pressed into the cardiac veins instead of the deep veins, partly into the superficial, subcutaneous veins. This results in an overload of the superficial venous system.

Compression can be useful when the veins expand.

Only 10 percent of the German population have healthy veins. 90 percent have an impaired venous system. 1 Weakness of the veins leads to the blood in the leg veins failing. This can become apparent through various signs. Heavy and tired legs, swelling, spider veins or varicose veins. It is not only the legs that suffer from cosmetic problems with blood vessels that are visible under the skin. Couperose can also be problematic on the face.
