What causes lumps on men’s calves?

Many male friends often have a small lump in their calf when doing squats. This is actually a disease. If you find this happening, you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will seriously affect the blood circulation in the calf. So why do lumps appear in the calf? What disease causes it?

Experts say that lumps in the calves may be a manifestation of varicose veins. Patients with varicose veins in the calves may feel that their legs are particularly itchy, swollen, and painful during the onset of the disease. When tired, the legs will feel heavy, especially when standing all day, the calves will feel particularly painful, and the ankle joints will also feel swollen. When the condition is severe, the varicose veins in the legs will be more obvious, and the color of the ankles will even turn purple. More seriously, if the blood return is abnormal, pigmentation will occur, inducing eczematous dermatitis, and may produce stasis ulcers.

Generally speaking, there are several main causes of calf varicose veins:

1. Congenital causes: The patient's valve may have some congenital problems, and the acquired pressure will form varicose veins;

2. Obese people: Because the lower limbs need to support the large body, venous pressure increases.

3. Vascular problems: People who have suffered from venous embolism may suffer from damage to their valve function;

4. Pregnant women: Female hormones can cause the veins to dilate, and the valves cannot cover the veins and prevent blood from flowing back;

5. Perforation failure: The perforated vein connecting the superficial vein and the deep vein also has a valve to prevent blood from flowing from the deep vein to the superficial vein. However, when the perforated vein valve function fails, blood will flow freely, which will put pressure on the superficial vein and cause the vein to dilate.

Through the introduction, we can see that lumps in the calves are mostly caused by varicose veins in the calves, and this disease will seriously affect the circulation of the local blood system. Therefore, I hope everyone can pay attention to it. If you find a lump in your calf, it is best to receive a professional diagnosis to see if you have varicose veins in the calf.
