People who tend to spend a lot of time on their feet, walk a lot, and even wear tight clothing are prone to varicose veins. The symptoms of varicose veins are multiple (pain, fatigue, heaviness) and cause a lot of discomforts to carry out any activity.
What are varicose veins, and what are their causes?
Varicose veins are dilations of the superficial veins of the skin. When the veins are widened, they prevent a correct blood return, and for this reason that the person who suffers from them feels discomfort, pain in the legs, fatigue, heaviness, and sometimes according to the degree in which they are the color of the skin can change, due to lack of blood supply. There are four stages of varicose veins:
- In grade I, are the well-known spider veins or telangiectasias, at this stage, the symptoms are not so evident but when they appear it causes a feeling of fatigue and heaviness.
- Grade II is characterized by the appearance of more consistent symptoms of heaviness, fatigue, and pain in the lower limbs, and sometimes the presence of edema and cramps.
- In grade III, the veins are more dilated and tortuous, with symptoms of itching, burning, and reddening of the area.
- And finally, grade IV is a complication of the previous grade in which it can show thrombophlebitis or varicose ulcerations.
There are multiple reasons why varicose veins originate, such as:
- Working on your feet for a long time.
