My legs hurt a lot, so I looked up about varicose veins.

Varicose veins,

It is a venous blood circulation disorder caused by abnormalities in the valves of the leg veins, leading to blood not reaching the heart, stagnation, or reverse flow.

 

There are more women than men.

They say their legs easily become tired or feel heavy.

 

If left unattended!!!

It's a progressively worsening disease, so early treatment!!

It is said that it is necessary.

 

Causes of varicose veins

Family history (70-80%), as well as pregnancy, obesity, lack of exercise, and jobs that require standing for long periods, can be potential causes.

 

Types of varicose veins

1. Capillary dilation: visible as tiny blood vessels less than 1 millimeter in size
2. Varicose veins: visible enlarged veins measuring 1 to 3 millimeters with a bluish color, mainly in a tortuous shape
3. Varicose veins: Bulging veins larger than 3 millimeters

 

Early symptoms of varicose veins

1. When I stretch my legs or put pressure on them (mainly in the early morning), I often get cramps in my calves or toes.
2. Swelling occurs around the calves and ankles in the afternoon.
3. My legs feel extremely heavy and easily become tired.
4. The area around my calf or behind my knee feels tight and painful.
5. My calves feel numb when I stay still. It worsens when I lie down at night to sleep.

 

Varicose vein treatment methods

1. Medical compression stockings, venous circulation enhancers
2. Vascular sclerosis therapy
3. Surgery: Tooth extraction (highest pain intensity, slow recovery), Laser, Radiofrequency, Benzyl (lower pain intensity, faster recovery), Clarivain (lower pain intensity, faster recovery)

 

Hello. I looked into varicose veins in the legs^^

 

I have many tiny blood vessels in my legs,ㅠ.ㅠ

My legs also get tired easily, and I feel a really heavy sensation.

It's really difficult when you have to sit for a long time, like on a plane.

I've always thought to myself, "Do I have varicose veins too??" but after finding and reading related articles this time... I think it's probably in the early stages of varicose veins.ㅠ.ㅠ

I think I should at least try taking a vein circulation enhancer.

Of course;; it would be even better to go to the hospital and get an accurate diagnosis^^
