Vascular Fragility

Refers to the venous system. When the endothelium is healthy, the vascular system, because it is primarily a storage place for the blood, and is bound by smooth muscle tissue, and provides for containment. It maintains vasodilatory function and thus is critical for "fight and flight" situations. It must also provide for a number of metabolic and endocrine functions. Thus, to keep healthy, the vascular system must remain flexible. As damage occurs, prostaglandins are emitted. Prostaglandins are a painful method the body uses to tell the brain that a portion of the body needs help and attention. Taking aspirin to reduce the pain of this condition can only cause it to worsen.
