Varicose veins are a word we hear a lot, but few people know what it really means. I often see patients with slightly swollen legs who say they have varicose veins, and I often see patients with bruises on their legs who brag about being low in fat! You should know that low fat content is not only reflected in the exposure of veins. What degree of varicose veins can be called varicose veins? Varicose veins can simply be divided into two stages! The first stage is more tolerable, when after sitting or standing for a long time, if some red or blue “spider web” like lines appear under the skin of the legs, it means that we have started to have slight varicose vein symptoms. This symptom is often overlooked, as people feel that it only affects the appearance of their legs, and that the soreness and fatigue are tolerable, so they are not willing to waste time and effort to seek medical attention. So as the varicose veins are allowed to enter the second stage of the disease, the symptoms become more serious and the blood vessels gradually start to bulge, tortuous and even tangled into a ball, like curled earthworms. It is easy to see that this is the case with many elderly people, who are the ones who have developed severe varicose veins due to the accumulation of symptoms caused by their inattention when they were young. The main measures to relieve the symptoms caused by varicose veins are: a. Avoid wearing tight clothes Belts and shoes should not be too tight, and it is better to wear low-heeled shoes. Especially for women who love beauty, they need to pay more attention to the fact that too tight clothes are going to affect the blood return to the lower limbs. Second, usually more leg massage method is to put both hands on both sides of the calf, from the ankle to the knee, rub the calf muscles to help the venous blood flow back. Third, when lying down to rest, raise the legs above the level of the heart, and maintain the knee bend, adhere to about 15 minutes. To promote blood circulation in the legs and relieve the symptoms of varicose veins in the lower limbs. Four, usually do more squatting exercise Simple squatting exercise can not only exercise the muscles, but also good for the joints. Both can effectively prevent varicose veins and calf cramps, but also can promote blood circulation, enhance physical fitness. Fifth, do not stand or sit for a long time This is very bad for relieving the symptoms of varicose veins, so you should try to reduce the workload and avoid standing or lying on your back in one position for a long time. Sixth, avoid high temperature High temperature tends to make the blood vessels dilate, thus aggravating the condition. Although I have said the way to relieve varicose veins, but this does not apply to all patients, the time of surgical treatment must be surgery, otherwise believe me, you will absolutely regret, and never underestimate varicose veins, if we overdraw our legs when we are young (sedentary or standing), we do not have to wait until old age, may be less than 30 years old will appear the phenomenon of varicose veins.
