Varicose veins on women's legs: the scourge of the 21st century

Varicose veins of the lower extremities is a disease that affects beautiful women, and its incidence is four times that of more than half of humans. If earlier this disease was regarded as an "age-related disease" and it mainly surpassed women in 50 years, then today's venous hematologist regrets the sharp increase in his "youth".

The doctor’s fear is understandable, because women younger and younger than 30 are getting in touch with them more and more. Therefore, it is necessary to find out what is the risk of varicose veins on women's legs, its causes, symptoms, and what is currently known to eliminate the disease.

Symbol for sounding alarm

The doctor has already determined the general signs of varicose veins in the legs. Once they are found, they must immediately meet with the vascular surgeon.

The following factors eloquently boast the appearance of varicose veins:

• After a busy day, legs and feet swell, especially at night. Usually, in the early stage of the disease, after restorative night rest, the edema will completely disappear, but if the disease has entered the chronic stage, the symptoms will become the patient's all-weather companion.
Pain syndrome in the gastrocnemius area, a feeling of fullness that is not released until the patient is in the "lying" position.
• Varicose veins on a woman's legs obviously spoil the appearance of beautiful legs. Usually, before such a uniform, smooth, reddish vascular network, the appearance of the skin surface makes beautiful ladies eager to ask the doctor for help.
• In some parts of the leg, especially in the area, notice the prominent veins, usually knotted and brightly colored. The veins on the legs range in color from dark blue to brownish purple.

If you find one or more of these unpleasant phenomena yourself, you should know that these are symptoms of varicose veins in the legs. In this case, an appointment with a doctor is the most urgent need.

What happens if you don’t see the doctor in time

This disease is by no means dangerous, not just a deterioration in the appearance of slender women’s legs. In addition to now you have to prioritize pants and dark tights, and throw the miniskirt you once liked on the back shelf of the closet, the following will happen:

1. If emergency measures are not taken to treat blood congestion in the veins of the legs, the next stage in the development of the disease is thrombophlebitis. This is due to the fact that the thickened blood in the deformed vein gradually forms a blood clot, thereby blocking the blood vessel. Blood clotting into the heart or pulmonary arteries can cause death.
2. The appearance of dermatitis, and later-and trophic ulcers. The surface where the diseased vein has first protruded darkened, and the skin became thinner and tighter, resulting in an unhealthy glow. Subsequently, further thinning, this skin is vulnerable to external damage, and the inflammatory process starts not only in the veins, but also on the surface of the skin. This can cause a trophic (non-healing) ulcer, which is an open, weeping wound.
3. When the veins are deformed and stretched, they can simply "ooze" and cause bleeding, which may be internal or external.
4. If ulcers and other skin damage have formed, pathogenic bacteria and infections can easily enter the bloodstream through them. This can result in gangrene and requires amputation of the affected limb.

Where do women's varicose veins come from?

This uncomfortable and stubborn disease affects girls and women much more than men, and that’s why.

• The cause of varicose veins in women usually stems from harmful inheritance. If grandmothers, mothers, and sisters suffer from venous insufficiency, the risk of developing the disease in the younger generation is much higher than in women without the disease.
• Professional factors. If, depending on the nature of your activity, you have to spend a long time standing up (these are sellers, teachers, surgeons), then stagnant blood flow in the lower limbs often occurs. For those who need to sit at the computer desk for a long time, the same consequences will happen.
• The food is incorrect. It’s no secret that many women like to spoil themselves with sweets, high-calorie pastries, and spicy things like marinades, seasonings and hot condiments. All these good things, if consumed regularly, can cause blood to thicken. As a result, blood flow is disrupted, congestion is formed, and veins in the legs are deformed.
Another factor in the appearance of varicose veins is that a married lady is burdened with daily life, children and work, and has no time to spend time with her lover. Because there is no time to go to the gym or do physical exercises at home, the calf muscles lose their tone and no longer maintain the normal pressure in the blood vessels of the legs. In addition, the vein walls are deformed, and blood stagnation does not last long.
• Changes in hormone levels. It may be menopausal syndrome and pregnancy. In the latter case, varicose veins can be caused not only by hormones, but also by increasing pressure on the legs. For this reason, it is increasingly difficult to carry a growing abdomen. In addition, the blood flow intensity of pregnant women has doubled, and the veins may not be able to cope with such a heavy burden. Therefore, all women in an "interesting position", especially in the last three months, require regular preventive examinations by a phlebologist.
• I prefer high heels in daily life. Although these shoes make women attractive to men, they are very harmful to the health of the legs! The constant load on the calf predicts vascular congestion and pathological deformation in the gastrocnemius region.

Preventive measures

• Daily quantitative correction. It is forbidden to use all fatty foods rich in cholesterol, spicy marinades, salinity, smoked meat, strong tea, coffee and alcohol.
• If a lady smokes, it will greatly complicate the treatment of varicose veins. Therefore, it is necessary to unite and quit addiction.
• Wear corrective leggings and leg warming socks. This is the special underwear that venous patients must wear to normalize the venous pressure and prevent the further development of venous malformations. In order to prevent venous diseases, it is recommended to use level 1 underwear. If the capillary network is already visible and the edema becomes more obvious, you need to buy level 2 compression pantyhose. And in the case of obvious deformation of the container, the third compression level of this linen is used.
• Revitalize the fitness complex. Many physical exercises are recommended to combat varicose veins. This can be a short jogging, lifting the lower limbs, and swinging the legs.

In addition, yoga can only provide excellent help if its postures (asanas) do not involve prolonged static tension of the calf muscles. For the same reason, team sports are excluded: volleyball, football, basketball, weightlifting, long intense speed races.

Finally

In order to stop the development of venous diseases as soon as possible, you need to observe the following principles:

1. Forget high heels and buy high-quality, comfortable shoes made of natural materials.
2. Avoid bathing, sauna and solarium.
3. Replace vigorous exercise loads with lighter loads. Don’t forget to discuss these exercises with your doctor.
4. If you are not doing physical exercise, you need to unite and allocate half an hour a day for therapeutic exercise.
5. Organize your diet by including as many vegetables, cereals, and seafood as possible in your diet. For example, the secret of Japanese women who are known for their longevity, youthfulness and good health lies in the large amount of "seafood" and rice on the table every day.
