9 Myths About Varicose Veins You Should Know
  • varicose VEINS
  • Have you seen those thickened veins, entangling
    each other on someones legs? Are they making
    your beautiful legs shabby? Well, those veins are
    normally known as varicose veins. The word
    varicose is derived from Latin word varix
    that means twisted. Nowadays, varicose veins are
    a common problem and 1 out of 2 people mostly
    over the age of fifty are affected with this
    condition
  • It is very easy to recognize varicose veins due
    to their appearance. They are enlarged,
    entangled, swollen and palpable on the skin
    surface. Varicose veins are blue or purple in
    color and are most often found on the inside the
    legs and calf often. They originate from several
    different systems, including the greater
    saphenous vein, the short saphenous vein, the
    anterior lateral branch or the high extension
    branch.
  • Here we will see 9 quick ways through which you
    can get rid of varicose veins.

1. Varicose Veins Are Just A Cosmetic Problem
  • People are generally under the impression that
    varicose veins are just a cosmetic problem, and
    therefore, dont need medical intervention. While
    not everyone will come through other symptoms,
    there is a significant number of patients who
    develop them. Symptoms include cramping,
    heaviness, achiness, swelling, and achiness in
    the legs. You may also experience dry and itchy
    skin near the varicose veins. Varicose veins also
    put you at risk for forming deep vein thrombosis.
    Less common symptoms are skin discoloration and
    thickening, ulcers, and bleeding. Any skin damage
    from varicose veins is permanent. Hence, if you
    have varicose veins, it is important that you
    talk to your doctor about vein treatment.

2. Varicose Veins Are Inevitable 
  • Some people are below the impression that
    everyone gets varicose veins as they age, and
    that only older people get varicose veins.
    However, while aging makes varicose veins worse,
    not everyone will get them. Additionally, younger
    people can get varicose veins. The main cause of
    varicose veins is genetics, so if you have a
    family member with varicose veins, it is most
    likely that you will develop them. Additionally,
    hormonal elements such as pregnancy and birth
    control pills can worsen varicose veins. They
    have not anything to do with age.

3. Only Women Get Varicose Veins
  • Varicose veins are more common in females
    however, men can also suffer from them. Near
    about 25 percent of women deal with varicose
    veins, while around 10 percent of men do also.
    Men must not feel dissuaded from coming into our
    vein clinic for treatment because they think of
    varicose veins as a womans issue. It is a
    health problem that both men and women need to
    address with a medical professional.

4. Varicose Veins Are Caused By Running Too
Much
  • There is a perception that running causes
    varicose veins. But in reality, exercise is a
    positive thing for your veins because it gets
    your circulation going. When you walk or run, it
    makes your calf muscle pump more blood. If you
    have varicose veins and you are a runner, it is
    to your advantage to wear compression stockings
    to prevent your blood from pooling. Additionally,
    after you run, it is essential to elevate your
    legs.

5. Varicose Veins Can Always Be Seen
  • While you may see varicose veins right under the
    skin, they also occur deeper in the body where
    they cannot be seen. It only depends on how your
    legs are composed. For example, if there is fatty
    tissue between your skin and muscle, you may not
    be able to see varicose veins underneath. Surface
    varicose veins are only one part of the picture.

6. Varicose Veins Are Caused By Standing All Day
  • Some people think that if you have a job that
    requires you to stand all day, you are more
    likely to develop varicose veins, but this is not
    needed to be true. While people who stand all
    day, such as flight attendants, may be more
    bothered by their varicose veins, standing for a
    long time has not been proven to cause varicose
    veins. Symptoms are just more apparent if you are
    standing.

7. Theres No Point In Making Lifestyle Changes
  • If you have varicose veins, there are few
    lifestyle changes you can make to ease your
    symptoms. For example, obesity makes varicose
    veins worse if you are obese, losing weight can
    help minimize the symptoms of varicose veins.
    Additionally, becoming more active can help you
    with your varicose veins because it improves your
    circulation. Other steps you can take to relieve
    the symptoms of varicose veins are wearing
    compression stockings, elevating your legs, and
    strengthening your calves.

8. You Need Surgery To Treat Varicose Veins
  • In the past, the only treatment option for
    varicose veins was stripping, a surgery that
    removed veins from the body. Now, you have many
    minimally invasive treatment option, such as
    endovenous laser treatment which we offer at
    Karishma Vein Clinic. This treatment address
    varicose veins but do not require much down time,
    allowing you to get back to your life as soon as
    possible.

9. Varicose veins are curable
  • Unfortunately, varicose veins are not curable.
    They are treatable, but they may reappear after
    your treatment. Fortunately, treatment for
    varicose veins is effective at easing your
    symptoms and diminishing their appearance, so it
    is worth investing in treatment. Just be aware
    that they may reappear after some time.
