My personal experience with the early symptoms of varicose veins

It was only after experiencing recurring leg discomfort that I realized it was an early symptom of varicose veins. . Symptoms that I had dismissed as simple fatigue began to gradually affect my daily life. . Early symptoms of varicose veins that I personally experienced and hospital consultation , And I want to share my lifestyle changes to help those who are experiencing the same symptoms as me.

 

At first, my legs felt unusually heavy and sore in the evening. . On days when I stand or sit for a long time all day, I often feel like my calves are being pulled. , The number of nights with rats is increasing. . At the time, I thought these symptoms were just common fatigue, so I didn't take them seriously. . But if this discomfort repeats for more than a few weeks, “ Something is strange " I started to think .

 

The most common early symptom of varicose veins I experienced was leg fatigue that worsened in the evening. . Even though it's relatively okay in the morning, my legs feel heavy after the afternoon. , There are more and more days when the sock marks are particularly deep. . Although the blood vessels did not bulge out noticeably, , My legs often swell and I sometimes feel hot or have mild pain. .

 

As these symptoms persisted, I eventually went to the hospital for consultation. . At the hospital, we first conducted a test to check the condition of the blood vessels in our legs. , Fortunately, I was told that it is not yet at a severe stage and is an early symptom of varicose veins. . At this stage, conservative management is more important than surgical treatment. .

 

 

As a treatment, I was prescribed medication to help with blood circulation. , I was advised to wear compression stockings to reduce the burden on the leg blood vessels. . He explained that the purpose of the medication is to support vascular function and relieve heaviness and swelling in the legs. . I was also advised to monitor my condition regularly in case my symptoms worsen. . After hearing this explanation, it became clear that the discomfort I had been feeling was the initial symptoms of varicose veins. .

 

After the hospital consultation, I started changing my lifestyle habits one by one. . First, I consciously tried to reduce the time I spent standing or sitting in the same position for a long time. . Even while working, I would get up from my seat and take a light walk or do some stretching. , When I got home, I made time to rest with my legs elevated above my heart. . These small habit changes helped reduce leg fatigue. .

 

I also tried to do some light walking exercise for a certain amount of time each day. . It is important to move your legs consistently rather than doing excessive exercise, so use the stairs instead of the elevator. , I walked even a short distance on purpose. . When sleeping, I placed a cushion under my legs to ensure smooth blood circulation. . These managers were thought to be trying to avoid worsening the early symptoms of varicose veins. .

I also adjusted my eating habits little by little. . I took care of edema management by reducing salty foods and increasing water intake. , I was careful not to gain weight. . These changes may not have a significant effect immediately. , Over time, it appeared that the heaviness in the legs was reduced. .

 

Looking back now , The initial symptoms of varicose veins seem to have started with very minor discomfort. . I think if I had realized it a little sooner, the burden on my mind would have been less. . Fortunately, the symptoms did not progress rapidly as I went to the hospital early, received consultation, and began treatment. .

If you are like me and take leg fatigue for granted, , It might be a good idea to consider the early symptoms of varicose veins at least once. . I think that the most important management method is to observe changes in your body without ignoring small signals. . I hope this review will be of some help to those who are going through a similar experience. .
