The symptoms of any variant of the disease become manifest fairly vivid, and the treatment can be conservative or surgical.
The most important risk factor is a genetic characteristic of the venous wall and the valve of the device vascular. In normal circumstances, the blood returns to the heart, moving upwards through the veins of the valve of the valve. If this mechanism is disturbed, the blood accumulates inside the vessel, gradually extending vienna. When symptoms do appear, the development of the disease is rapid, and the treatment must begin immediately.
A hereditary predisposition is passed from parents to children, it is therefore important to know if the parents varicose veins, in consequence of which it appeared, and have had complications. It is particularly important to know on the thrombotic predisposition: innate of the violation of the coagulation of the blood leads to the formation of a blood clot and creates the conditions for a severe disease of the blood vessels. Varicose veins of the esophagus has no genetic factors of risk, most often occurs on a background of liver disease, and typical symptoms lead to dangerous complications.
Obesity or overweight significantly increases the load on the blood vessels of the legs. A large gravity puts a lot of pressure, to disrupt the functioning of the joints, creating the conditions for the stagnation of venous blood in the legs, formation of varicose veins. And the greater the mass of a body, the faster will be varicose veins.

For the leg veins of alcohol is a risk factor, causing varicose veins, which is related to the constant and strong influence on the vascular wall. In addition, the alcohol beverages interfere with the absorption of many essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals, which is the cause of vascular disorders. Alcohol dependence leads to the appearance of cirrhosis of the liver, which will cause of varicose veins of the esophagus. The symptoms are quite vivid, and the treatment of varicose veins can not be, if the patient continues to consume alcohol at high doses.

Of great importance for the venous system is the state of the coagulation of the blood. If non-congenital disorders, there is a real risk for varicose veins can become the symptoms of the disease of the heart and blood vessels, leading to thickening of the blood. If in the venous system of the legs, the conditions of reduction of the fluidity of the blood, the risk of varicose veins increases strongly. In the veins of the esophagus in an increase of coagulation occurs on the background of cardiovascular problems or cirrhosis of the liver. The symptoms of liver failure, is strongly expressed, so the treatment of varicose veins always the result of the application of special drugs with vascular effects.
The veins on the legs do not contain in their wall of muscle fibers, therefore to push the blood to the top requires the contraction of the muscles of the legs. If on the background physical inactivity is a weakening of the muscular system, it is the main negative factor for the development of varicose veins. For varicose veins of the esophagus because of this is not news. Symptoms of the muscle weakness will notice a doctor, but in a treatment of the varicose illness, usually includes exercises, physical therapy, help to strengthen the muscles of the lower limbs.
