Varicose veins refer to the tortuous and dilated veins caused by blood stasis, weak vein wall and other factors. Varicose veins are common diseases in daily life, and the initial symptoms of varicose veins are generally not obvious, so it is difficult to be found.
With the aggravation of the disease, there will be symptoms such as leg itching, leg swelling and pain. If it is not effectively controlled, the condition will further deteriorate, which may lead to blood stasis in the feet, purple ankles, even eczema-like dermatitis, ulcers, bleeding, and sometimes thrombophlebitis.
Therefore, when we feel the discomfort of the calf, we need to take some measures to alleviate the symptoms caused by varicose veins. Measures mainly include:
First, avoid wearing tight clothes.
The belt and shoes should not be too tight, and it is best to wear low-heeled shoes. Especially for women who love beauty, it is more important to note that too tight clothes will affect the blood return of lower limbs.
Second, usually do more leg massage.
The method is to put your hands on both sides of the calf, from the ankle to the knee joint, and rub the calf muscles to help venous blood return.
Third, when you lie down and rest, raise your legs.
Above the heart level, and keep your knees bent for about 15 minutes. Thereby promoting blood circulation in the legs and relieving varicose veins in the lower limbs.
Fourth, you can do special venous exercise before going to bed.
Lift your lower limbs, keep the soles of your feet parallel to your body, and then let your legs and feet shake gently. When resting and sleeping, try to use the left lateral position, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of inferior vena cava and relieves the symptoms of varicose veins.
Five, usually do more squats.
Simple squat exercise can not only exercise muscles, but also benefit joints. It can not only effectively prevent varicose veins and calf cramps, but also promote blood circulation and enhance physical fitness.
Six, control weight
If overweight, it will increase the burden on the body and make varicose veins more serious. Besides, don't lift heavy objects. Heavy objects will increase the pressure of the body on the lower limbs, which is not conducive to relieving varicose veins.
Seven, don't stand for a long time or sedentary.
This is not conducive to the relief of varicose vein symptoms, so try to reduce the workload and avoid standing or lying on your back for a long time.
Eight, avoid high temperature
High temperature tends to dilate blood vessels, thus aggravating the condition.
Nine, wear varicose decompression socks
Varicose decompression socks can help venous return, which is a medical device for treating varicose veins.
Ten, insist on walking fast every day.
Persist for 4 times, each time 15 minutes, which can effectively relieve symptoms.
