What are varicose veins?

Knotted veins (varicose veins) is a very unpleasant disease that affects not only the internal state of the human body, but also manifests itself in significant external changes. Probably everyone has seen someone with this disease. The main external signs of varicose veins are ugly, prominent, swollen veins. Women who suffer from this disease (and more often women who are sick) have to hide this defect under their clothes. But, of course, all danger is not outside, but inside.

Varicose veins bring an unpleasant feeling of heaviness in the legs, and with further inactivity - to severe pain. Therefore, at the first symptoms of the disease, it must be treated. Of course, like any disease, varicose veins are easier to prevent than to treat.

Risk groups include people who have sedentary jobs, or jobs that require a lot of standing. In addition, hereditary factors are very important here. You are almost guaranteed to have varicose veins if your mother or grandmother had the disease.

To avoid varicose veins, you should try to move more, run and jump. It is also very good to lie with your legs elevated for at least a few minutes a day. Use a foot gel that relieves swelling and heaviness.
