Now, some may believe that varicose is not that dangerous since it is not followed up by an excruciating pain, but this point of view is quite inaccurate. Classifying all medical issues which are not painful as non-problematic is quite narrow-minded, since although something doesn’t hurt it can significantly lower your lifestyle quality. For example, varicose and spider veins cause an unpleasant itch and look aesthetically quite unappealing. The latter one is much more serious than it may seem since it can deliver a serious blow to one’s self esteem.
With this in mind, here are some of the ways in which you can successfully deal with varicose.
Varicose and spider veins: What is the difference?
The answer to this question is quite simple and straightforward one. Both of these are enlarged and twisted veins and the difference is mostly in size and how close to the surface of the skin they are. Because of these two things varicose is much more transparent. On the other hand, their similarities are much more numerous, including their origins and most common causes. Namely, standing too much in one spot and avoiding regular exercise is probably the major reason why they appear, although a lot of scientists claim that genetics are still of key significance here.
Prevention is always better
Sure, curing varicose is not that difficult, but why cure it when you can easily prevent it from ever happening. For example, regular physical exercise, eating healthy and maintaining your optimal body-weight are all things that can significantly reduce your chances of getting varicose. Another thing you can do is wear compression stockings, whenever you expect that you will be forced to stand for a prolonged period of time. Finally, you need to change your position every time you start feeling uncomfortable while standing. Although this seems too simple to actually work, you would be surprised just how effective this can be.
Actual treatment
If all else fails and you do develop varicose or spider veins, what you most probably need is an intervention. Most people first try various noninvasive methods, but when they finally decide that they don’t want to tolerate it any more it always comes down to some form of aesthetic surgery. Still, not even all surgical interventions are the same, and some have better success rate than others. A perfect example of this is sclerotherapy, a procedure in which the ultrasound guided liquid sclerosant is used to rectify your problem. This step however requires a lot of finesse and expertise, which is why you should only entrust it to someone reliable enough (reputation is everything here). Your health always comes first.
Your health always comes first, but this doesn’t stand only for your physical health. Constant itch, low self-esteem and even abstaining from wearing some of your favorite shorts or skirts all have a negative effect on your mindset. Needless to say, this can project negatively on almost anything you do or decide to do in life. Now put on the other tip of the scale a fact that this problem can go away after a simple and benign intervention. From this perspective it seems as a step you cannot afford not to take.
