HOW TO PREVENT VARICOSE VEINS?

Not everybody knows this, but varicose veins affect both men and women, only that it is a more common ailment in women. According to several, detailed studies, varicose veins affect only one man every five women.


The truth is that according to recent assessments, one out of ten people suffers from varicose veins at a certain point in their lives, being more common in women as a consequence of pregnancy and hormonal fluctuation.


TRICKS AND TIPS TO PREVENT VARICOSE VEINS


Maintain a balanced weight


Several studies have proven that obese people have a 50% more chance to get varicose veins than other people. Moreover, obese people suffering from varicose veins present a high risk of developing blood clots.

Regular check-ups


The appearance of varicose veins is progressive, so we recommend an annual consultation with your doctor in the Varicose vein treatment hospital in Coimbatore once you have concluded the treatment to eradicate them. This check-up will allow the specialist to treat any varicose vein it may reappear in advance.


Avoid being on your feet too long


This is a basic rule you must follow in your workplace and everywhere else. Choosing a career based on your predisposition to get varicose veins is not easy, so if your job requires you to be on your feet or sitting in the same position for long periods of time such as the operator of an assembly line, office worker, hairdresser, etc., you must get the habit of taking daily half-hour walks and play a sport on the weekends. This way you will significantly neutralize the circulatory deficiency caused by your sedentary job, thus avoiding the appearance of varicose veins.


Likewise, housewives should avoid being on their feet for too long while doing laundry, ironing, cooking, or doing any other household work. The ideal thing would be to interrupt the work for a while and take a walk between one thing and the next. It is also very important to take daily walks in order to promote good blood circulation on the legs, the main target of varicose veins.


Avoid strong heat sources


Excessive sun exposure is not recommended, especially because it implies staying still for a long time causing vasodilatation and the appearance of little, ugly varicosities. Holiday destinations with really hot weather are not recommendable either. You should choose destinations like the country or the mountains, with cooler weather. Thermal baths with temperatures over 28 °C and swimming in very cold waters are not recommendable either. Radiant slab heating has adverse effects but they can be lessened using carpets. Heating especially directed to the area of the legs (such as cars, trains, planes…), chimneys, waxing with hot wax, extremely hot baths, etc. are negative elements you should try to avoid for the sake of our legs.


Wear appropriate clothes


You must wear airing, loose-fitting, soft clothes. Any piece of clothing that is too tight on the legs (pantyhoses, garters, girdles, etc.) hampers the correct circulation of the blood, something you must avoid at all costs if you suffer from varicose veins or if you are prone to them.


Wearing comfortable shoes


In any Varicose vein treatment in Coimbatore to fight varicose veins is strongly recommended to walk barefoot on sand or grass. Footwear should always be loose, with no restraints of any kind, and with a fine sole. Heels should be neither too high nor too low but with an average height of 3-4 centimeters to facilitate the functioning of the muscular pump on the calf and to flatten the spongy tissue of the sole of the feet. Otherwise, it would promote the appearance of varicose veins. Any kind of bone or joint anomaly on the feet or the legs negatively reverberates on the return circulation.
