Customer Questions:
I have problems with bulging veins in my legs. How can I help myself?
Pharmacist's response:
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when the veins in the legs do not allow blood to flow back to the heart. Usually, the valves in the veins keep the blood flowing toward the heart. But when these valves don't work well, blood can also flow backward. This can cause blood pooling in the legs and varicose veins.
Varicose veins are veins that have become swollen enough to be seen in the legs. This condition affects the superficial veins that lie closest to the skin. Affected veins look like blue bulging, twisted nodules under the skin. Varicose veins occur when excess blood accumulates in the superficial veins of the legs.
Prolonged sitting or standing can cause this, increasing pressure on the vessel walls. This pressure stretches the vein and weakens the internal one-way valves, which open to allow blood to flow and close to prevent blood from flowing back. When these valves are weakened or damaged, blood can pool and pool in your veins, causing them to swell.
Which medicine can we use to help?
Detralex helps to treat the symptoms of chronic venous disease. The venous disease manifests as painful or tired legs, feeling of heavy legs, itching, night cramps in the legs, the appearance of varicose veins (varicose veins) on the legs, and swelling of the legs.
Since the veins also expand with heat, it makes sense to wear compression stockings, especially in the summer - they exist for both men and women.
