How to maintain varicose veins of calf?

? Leg varicose veins are one of the important diseases. How to maintain in life?

The occurrence of varicose veins is related to constitution and heredity, obesity, pregnancy, standing for a long time, taking hormone drugs, increasing abdominal pressure and decreasing vascular elasticity. Occupations that need to stand for a long time, such as police, nurses, teachers, salespeople, flight attendants, urban white-collar workers, hairdressers, counter girls, chefs, restaurant waiters, turners, manual workers, etc., are all high-risk groups.

The main reason for the formation is that the congenital vascular wall membrane is weak or rarely changes the same posture for a long time, blood accumulates in the lower limbs, and the venous valve is destroyed over time, resulting in excessive venous pressure, which is a symptom of blood vessels protruding from the skin surface. So don't sit too much, get up and exercise.

So how do we usually maintain our legs?

(1) Avoid standing for a long time to prevent the calf from bearing weight.

(2) Preventive measures for varicose veins of the lower leg include patients with mild varicose veins and no obvious clinical symptoms. Elastic bandages or leggings can be used to wrap the calf for a long time to prevent its further development. People who stand for a long time can also use elastic bandages to prevent varicose veins.

(3) Appropriate leg exercises, such as lying on the bed, pedaling a bicycle, lifting legs, bending legs and stretching legs, can enhance leg muscle elasticity, help blood return and slow down varicose veins.

For teachers, salespeople, hostesses and other people who have been standing for a long time, once varicose veins appear, they should change their occupations as soon as possible to avoid aggravating their illness and leading to complications.

You can also choose the method of self-massage: first take the supine position, press the abdomen with both hands, exhale when pressing down, inhale when relaxing, and repeat for 20 ~ 30 times.

Then press the pulse of the femoral artery near the groin with your thumbs, press it hard for about 1 minute, and then suddenly relax, as if there is a feeling of warm current rushing down. Press it again after a pause and repeat it for 3 ~ 5 times. Finally, sit up, rub, pinch and touch the affected limb with both hands, and repeat 3 ~ 5 times from the distal end to the proximal end.
