Varicose veins are denied a date - a reasonable prevention of the disease

If you want to avoid varicose veins, you need to take care of it in time.The statistics of the disease are convincingly grim and give very scary percentages!Especially for the female population of the planet.Of course, at a young and active age, your thoughts are by no means directed to varicose veins - life is busy, you have plenty of strength, and oh, how far you are from the venerable years of your beloved grandmother, with ugly lumps on her legs!However, varicose veins are an insidious disease.And every year it gets younger.So now we have to fight.As long as the veins are healthy, prevention will not take much time.

Who needs varicose veins prevention?

Everyone without exception.This is due to our modern lifestyle - an abundance of tasty and unhealthy food, low mobility and frequent stress.But there are also favorites of the disease, who are at risk of getting sick first.These are:

• People who havehereditary risks, i.e. one or both parents suffer from varicose veins.
• Representatives of demanding professionslong standing, sitting in one position, professional athletes (runners, weightlifters, etc.)
• Overweight eaters.
• Stylish fashionistas and fashionistas– lovers of tight, tight dresses and high heels.
• Women.We classified the female gender in a separate group because, in addition to the listed factors, pregnancy and menopause are risk factors for varicose veins.

In addition, people already suffering from chronic metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer are also at risk.Secondary varicose veins are dangerous for them, that is, they are caused by the underlying pathology.

The pharmacy helps - medicines, ointments and other products

The pharmaceutical industry is also aware of the problem of varicose veins.Therefore, you will find enough ointments and creams for tired legs and the first symptoms of varicose veins in pharmacies.Traditionally, all drugs intended for local use are divided into several groups.

1. Heparoids.The medicinal substance thins the blood and dissolves blood clots.The use of anti-varicose ointment is justified, but it must be used after a doctor's prescription.Excessive use of such drugs can cause bleeding.
2. Venotonics.Ointments and gels that help relieve fatigue by strengthening the tone of the venous walls.They also cope well with swelling of the legs.
3. Honey-based ointments, creams and gelsand other beekeeping products.They are widely used, they help well, and they are even better advertised.
4. Complex drugs.They also contain venotonic and blood-thinning ingredients.

All these drugs are easy to use.Read the note and use it.But let's not forget the most important -See your doctor first!

Carefully!We consider it necessary to warn you about the dangermagical ointments, distributed in several ways: representatives of some little-known companies, private beauticians, online stores.Most often, prospective drugs have very dubious credentials and have not undergone any research.

What about traditional methods?

Traditional medicine does not lag behind varicose veins.On the contrary, it actively offers many wonderful recipes that can relieve not only varicose veins, but also many related problems.

Homemade ointments, medicinal decoctions and rubs, poultices and oral alcohol tinctures are believed by traditional doctors to cure it effectively and cheaply in a short time.We do not intend to argue;there are many really excellent recipes in folk medicine.But as representatives of official medicine, we still encourage you to look for a reasonable combination - the use of folk recipes after discussing them with your doctor.And under no circumstances should you refuse the traditional treatment prescribed by the doctor.

We analyze the diet and adjust the appropriate nutrition

The nutrition of varicose veins is of great importance.If you are a convinced carnivore and prefer sweet rolls for dessert, varicose veins will love it, no doubt.And along with it, obesity, metabolic problems and many other unpleasant diseases fall in love with it.

The optimal diet for the prevention of varicose veins is the Mediterranean diet.It contains many vegetables, fruits, seafood and fish, but almost no meat or baked goods.Did you know that people who like Mediterranean cuisine rarely have problems with blood vessels?

So remember our advice when you buy food in the supermarket.

Necessary compression with stockings

Compression clothing for varicose veins is an excellent preventive and therapeutic tool.Don't confuse it with shapewear tights - they are different products.Special 3D equipment helps to choose the size of the underwear and the degree of necessary compression, which is not only accurately measured, but also assesses the condition of the veins of the limbs.

We do not recommend purchasing and wearing compression stockings on your own.Only an experienced phlebologist can professionally determine the individual size and set the duration of wearing underwear.The price of the number is a single consultation.

Pregnancy: varicose veins can be avoided

Pregnancy is a physiological process, but the load on the veins of the lower limbs increases significantly.Every expectant mother should know about this.

• The first thing a woman can do to prevent varicose veins is to change her diet as described above.
• The second is sufficient physical activity.Walking in the fresh air and wearing the right shoes help the blood vessels.
• Special gymnastics is mandatory for pregnant women.The different movements of the foot, rolling from the heel to the toes, do not cause any particular physical activity, but they help the veins.Pregnancy is a time when sofa cushions are especially useful.When you lie down to rest, leave your feet on the pillow - blood circulation in the limbs will be more active.
• If you have known about varicose veins before pregnancy, see a phlebologist for further advice.He will select compression garments for you and tell you how to wear them correctly and for how long.

Varicose veins and occupation: sitting work and work on the legs

The vast majority of professions these days involve sitting in one place for long periods of time.More precisely at the computer.Even if your posture is comfortable and the chair is comfortable, these conditions will not save you from varicose veins.Therefore, follow some simple preventive rules:

• Never sit cross-legged or cross your legs - blood circulation to the extremities is cut off.
• Save the trendy stilettos for restaurants and theaters—nothing more.The optimal shoes are natural shoes, the heel of which does not exceed 6 cm.
• Limit the consumption of coffee and strong teas.Give preference to fruit juices, fruit drinks and pure water.
• Be sure to exercise.The best way is to swim.
• Rest properly and don't overeat, control your weight.
• Do exercises for your feet while sitting at your desk.

If you can't sit down at work and are on the move all day, remember:

• Keep your feet elevated while resting.
• Pour cold water on your legs in the morning and evening.
• Eat right and don't snack while running.
• Wear compression garments for prevention and choose the "right" shoes.
