Can varicose veins go to the spa?

Spa bathing is not recommended for varicose veins. Because the hot spring water is very hot and higher than the normal bathing water, such high water temperature will lead to the increase of blood stagnation in the veins, the pressure in the veins will rise and the blood in the superficial veins will not be able to flow back into the deep veins in time, then it will lead to the aggravation of the symptoms of varicose veins and the patient’s soreness and discomfort in the legs due to varicose veins will increase. Moreover, in the process of soaking in the hot spring, the skin of varicose veins may break down due to the sanitation problem and the temperature of the water. Because the skin around the varicose veins has poor nutritional function, the resistance is low. If the varicose veins develop ulcers or bacterial infections, it will cause considerable problems for the treatment.
