Does varicose veins affect running?
Patients with varicose veins can run. Varicose veins are benign diseases, and running is a healthy lifestyle. Medically speaking, it is unwise to change a healthy lifestyle for benign diseases, so you can run anyway. However, after running, congestion may appear in the veins of the feet, which may aggravate the venous load of the lower limbs and promote the development of varicose veins. In order to reduce the influence of running on varicose veins, the following methods can be taken:

1. Run regularly and try to run on the flat ground. If you are climbing mountains or running stairs, more thighs are exercising. Running on flat ground can activate ankle and calf muscle pumps and promote venous return;

2. People who have varicose veins or are worried about varicose veins can wear elastic socks to run and reduce the impact;

3, the choice of running time, from the perspective of varicose veins, it is recommended to run before going to bed. After running, you can lie on the bed directly and raise your feet, which can promote venous return. Even after running for 1-2 hours, the venous pressure on the foot is not very high.

Therefore, varicose veins are not taboo for running, but scientific running is needed to reduce the influence of running on varicose veins.
