Evening ailments with accompanying swelling of the foot and ankle, usually after walking for a long time or just standing, are clear signs of a malfunction in the veins. And soon venous disorders will manifest themselves visibly, in the form of cyanotic or red “stars”, “cobwebs”, and then the expansion of the veins and varicose veins. Plus painful sensations of heaviness, tingling, burning and itching in the swollen legs. All! We urgently need to save the health of your, yesterday, such beautiful legs! And there is no time for fat, maybe I would live.
To understand how you came to this life, you need to see a phlebologist, a professional who treats venous diseases. And he will tell you that by our time a lot of assumptions have accumulated explaining the reasons for the onset and development of varicose veins, such as hormonal, mechanical, hereditary, etc. And the factors contributing to the disease, bringing the patient to the clinic, along with hormonal manifestations, such as pregnancy, are lifestyle deficiencies – obesity, tight underwear, an occupation associated with carrying or lifting heavy loads or prolonged loads on the legs (teachers, hairdressers, cooks ) and even abuse of saunas and baths.
Sclerosurgery is now widely used all over the world. Simply put, these are scalpel treatments and therapy. True, the operation to remove the veins affected by the disease is not so simple: the patient needs hospitalization, followed by long-term rehabilitation. But a skillful combination of these two techniques allows you to achieve a high degree of recovery.
Drug therapy has dozens of drugs in its arsenal. At first glance, it is quite simple to choose the necessary venotonic agents among them. But this can only be done by the attending physician. Only he will prescribe a set of therapeutic measures and justify the use of a particular medicine.
Compression therapy is an appeal to various elastic bandages and special knitted fabrics. The effect is obvious! Bandaging with elastic bandages every day for a month is equal to a monthly intake of the highly effective drug Troxevasin. The main advantage of compression materials for health is their complete safety, incomparable even with the best medicines, although they are comparable in price.
Eliminate hot baths, saunas, long exposure to the sun. All this leads to a suspension of blood flow in the legs. Away from tight clothes, tight elastic bands on socks and stockings – they compress the veins. No excess body weight! Beware of sports involving heavy leg loads (weightlifting, football, tennis).
High (over 4 cm) heels are contraindicated in your veins. Beautiful and somewhere even sexy, but think about how this can turn out for your slender legs, especially if by the evening they “get heavy” for you. When resting, keep them in an elevated position. At work, you have to sit a lot or, conversely, stand, try to change the position of your legs as often as possible, vigorously walk in place, rotate your feet. After a shower or bath, rinse your feet in cold water. There are sports that are good for the feet – swimming, walking, cycling, skiing.
