Varicose veins and their natural treatments.
Dear community of @steemit when talking about health, I think it is interesting to mention something that commonly affects women, it is the "varicose veins" or "varicose veins", its appearance is due to venous dilatations that make it difficult to return blood to the heart, and that affect mostly the lower limbs, that is when venous valves do not close well and dilate accumulating blood.
The presence of varicose veins is frequent in one in five women, incidence four times higher than that of men. Its symptoms are variable: there are asymptomatic patients who are only concerned about aesthetic problems; others who have tiredness, heaviness, muscle cramps, itching, leg edema and increased temperature.
Women always ask why varicose veins appear, medical studies indicate that varicose veins are related to a hereditary factor, and other factors such as obesity, contraceptives, sedentary lifestyle, prolonged exposure to heat and being a long time standing or sitting.
Obesity favors the appearance of varicose veins, because the thick structures of the legs demand greater blood supply from the arteries, causing an overload on the venous valves and their early failure to drain the veins.
Being sedentary and standing, leads to blood stagnation and a valvular overload that leads to varicose veins, if you intend to avoid them you must have the muscles of the legs moving to make the blood flow, and return preventing work against gravity.
Women who use contraceptives are also exposed to the appearance of varicose veins, which cause fluid retention and failure of the valves of the reticular veins.
Although there are guidelines to reduce the factors that cause varicose veins especially those that improve circulation there are also some natural alternatives to treat them.
