Earlier I shared with readers that smartly dressed professional women also have their own health problems behind their beauty, such as "slingshot fingers" caused by strain on finger joints caused by typing, urinary tract infections caused by forcibly holding back urine, etc. In addition, sitting in the office for a long time will affect the blood circulation of the lower limbs. In addition, they often wear high heels, which tightens the calf muscles and increases the risk of varicose veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For women, varicose veins are a "leg-beautiful killer". In fact, this disease also occurs in men, especially those who work long periods of time, including flight attendants, medical staff, salespersons, chefs, couriers, etc. All belong to the high-risk group. In addition, obese people, the elderly with aging venous valves, and even pregnant women are at high risk of contracting this urban disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

causes of varicose veins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The human body mainly relies on deep veins (hidden deep in the muscle layer) and superficial veins (located in the subcutaneous tissue layer) to carry blood from everywhere in the body back to the heart. Under normal circumstances, the valves on the inner wall of the leg veins prevent blood from flowing back due to gravity when it is sent to the heart. However, when the function of the valves in the superficial veins weakens and cannot be completely closed, the blood will flow back and accumulate in the lower limbs, aggravating the condition. The pressure on the veins in this area causes the blood vessel walls to expand, forming bulging, earthworm-like veins that are unsightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  3. Edema in the legs, prone to soreness or muscle cramps;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Pigmentation, itching, thickening, etc. appear on the skin of the legs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Problems such as venous ulcers occur but can still heal;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Venous ulcers are so severe that they cannot heal. If tissue necrosis occurs in the lower limbs, amputation may be necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Treatment of varicose veins according to severity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It can be seen that although varicose veins are not necessarily fatal, delaying the treatment of the condition may also cause serious symptoms. It is recommended that patients wear medical compression stockings in accordance with the doctor's professional advice in the early stages of the condition to help the venous blood in the lower limbs flow back to the heart from the soles of the feet, providing relief.
