Do varicose veins work?

Varicose veins are a problem that bothers a lot, and today several creams are sold promising to improve the appearance of this problem. But are they effective in preventing veins and vines? Unfortunately, no!

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Among the many functions it carries out, one of the most important is the protection so that bacteria and microorganisms do not enter our circulation. With regard to the creams applied to the skin to prevent varicose veins, we can say that unfortunately they do not work because they can hardly surpass the skin and act on the wall of the vessel.

How can creams help in varicose veins? dilated, tortuous and insufficient, that is, incapable of exercising their greater function, which is the return of blood to the heart. They are located below the skin in the subcutaneous cellular tissue or in deeper regions such as muscles. Telangectasias are small vessels that stay on the skin, pink or purple, and can be very numerous, causing a not very pleasant appearance, especially in light skin.

Telangectasias respond well to the treatment of sclerotherapy, which is the administration of a drug into the affected vessel, causing its elimination. Usually we use creams after performing sclerotherapy to improve the bruises that can stay. There are also creams that work as makeup and are used to disguise or cover these small vessels.

Some creams have recently been released that seem to give relief to the feeling of weight and tiredness in the legs but are usually used along with massage, lifting and associated treatments. Thus, it is difficult to say whether alone have any effect. The massage performed on the feet towards the knees helps well, especially if at the time of its accomplishment the legs are elevated a little above the heart.

The recommendation that we make to the carriers of varicose veins of sometimes very voluminous limbs is that hydrate well the skin. As the varicose veins become dilated and full of blood and the blood is warm, the skin around the varicose veins can become dry, itchy and cause a small wound, which can develop into a varicose ulcer, a relatively common complication. the varicose veins?

In general, we can say that what even improves the varicose veins is to keep the weight adequate; practice regular physical activity; avoid long periods in the same position, whether sitting or standing; elevate the feet above the heart whenever possible and treat the first manifestations of the venous disease before they complicate it.

The treatment can be clinical with the adoption of the mentioned measures, besides sclerotherapy, use of medicinal elastic stockings, venotonic medications and , when necessary, surgery.

The creams can be used in isolated and very specific cases and always prescribed by an angiologist, who can eventually use someone who deems important for that particular case. Many of the products we see in the media unfortunately do not work as well as they are presented. If in doubt, do your part by taking healthy actions that depend only on you and leave the creams to be prescribed by those who understand, if any.

Do not use any medication, either oral or topical, without a prescription. We have a great tendency to seek magical treatments, which promise exceptional results without personal effort. There is no magic treatment. There is medical treatment and this is always associated with a commitment of the patient to his health and with the guidelines of a qualified professional.
