Manifestations of varicose veins.

A vascular specialist will advise on the condition of your varicose veins. When do I need to take medicine, which period do I need to wear socks and do I need surgery? All will be shared by vascular experts specifically.

The recommended blood flow doctor 07 ways to prevent varicose veins:

Leg lift

Elevating your legs can significantly reduce symptoms of varicose veins and swelling of the legs if you suffer from an early stage. To treat leg elevation effectively, it is necessary to raise the leg above the heart level. Try to keep them in this position for at least 20 minutes 3-4 times a day.

Wear medical socks

Wearing elastic stockings during the day may be more helpful than any other home treatment. If you experience discomfort in your feet, try wearing support stockings. Elastic stockings help compress veins and prevent blood flow.

They are much more tightly tied to the leg than regular socks, so that the veins in the leg can circulate more effectively. Research has shown that socks can reduce or prevent swollen feet at night. People who often stand, walk or sit should wear medical socks to reduce swelling and reduce discomfort.

Adjust your diet and control your weight

Just like regular exercise, diet is the best way to solve health problems. Foods containing vitamins C and E are an excellent source of antioxidants for your body. Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen and elastin to keep veins stronger. Vitamin E may make the veins less dilated.

Do not forget foods rich in fiber because they help prevent constipation and reduce pressure on veins.

Physical activity

Regular physical activity is the key to treating many health problems. In the case of varicose veins, especially those diagnosed at an early stage, physical activity is a good preventative measure. However, don't choose an exercise that puts too much pressure on your feet. Jogging is usually not recommended as it can aggravate varicose veins.

The more you move, the faster blood flow. Physical exercises that enhance blood circulation and are effective for treatment are daily walking, muscle tension, yoga or ankle swings.

Lifestyle changes

Lifestyle changes can reduce the discomfort that varicose veins often cause. Avoid standing or sitting time for long, especially if you do office work. Change positions more often to avoid clogging blood flow. Try to stand up and do short stretching exercises if possible.

Avoid wearing high heels for a long time. High heels often aggravate congestion in the lower extremities by increasing contractility of the calf muscles and the return of blood to the veins.

Massage gently

Massage helps to support blood circulation in your body, especially in the legs (where most varicose veins appear). The main technique for massaging varicose veins is gentle, avoiding the pressure on large veins, squeezing and squirming. Use gentle full-pressure or fingertip pressure while massaging, moving from heel to ankle. If you feel pain or any kind of discomfort, stop massage and raise the leg more.

Although such a gentle massage may not completely relieve symptoms of varicose veins, it can significantly change the discomfort they cause by improving blood flow to the limbs.

Laser ablation for large veins

One of the most common medical interventions for varicose veins is laser ablation. This method is often used when none of the above treatments is effective and the swelling and discomfort become severe.

A laser tube at the end is threaded through the dilated vein, the laser heats up and seals the vein walls so blood does not flow through it anymore. Then the vein is removed by a specialized device. The procedure usually leaves small bruises on the legs and is much simpler than conventional surgery.
