People face some or the other health issue in their lives.
Some of the health problems may be the serious ones and require proper medical
attention in order to get the required treatment while others are sometimes not
that serious and don’t require high levels of treatments. They can be easily
cured by either medication or by taking precautions. One of the issues that
people face is that is varicose veins. In this, the veins present in that
particular part of the body get enlarged and twisted. Though the term is
generally used when referring to the bulging twisted veins of the leg, the problem can arise in
any part of the body.
Identification and
early symptoms
It can happen with anybody but it is generally observed in
the adult people. In the starting, the person will notice a bluish color in the
capillaries and veins that will be visible on the surface of the skin. It will
feel like a knotted structure, like there is some hard thing present under the
skin. This is caused because of the swelling of the veins just below the
surface of the skin of the body part. This happens mostly in the legs and
thighs, but can also be seen in other skin areas such as the face and arms. So if
you are confused about a similar thing happening with your body, then just
check with the symptoms and be sure that you are having this problem or not.
Some common symptoms are-
- Pain in the legs or the specific body part.
- Swelling in the area that makes the legs feel heavy.
- Aching ankles especially during the night time.
- Brown or yellow discoloration around the affected area.
- Itching and dryness of the part and redness over the veins.
- White or similar patches on the ankles.
- Formation of knots in the veins those are visible from outside.
Possible reasons
The main reasons behind the swollen
veins can be many as
discovered till now in the medical science. There are certain contributing
factors like the age, type of job, body weight, hormonal imbalances, and even
heredity that can make the veins weak. However the main reason behind having bulging
twisted veins is that the valves present inside the veins and capillaries stop
working properly which causes the blood to flow in the opposite direction
making the veins enlarged and bulging.
Getting healthy veins
The problem may grow and become serious if not treated on
time. Other than making the skin area look ugly, it also causes problems in
movement. The person suffering from it is not able to walk properly and carry
out the daily physical activities. The pain too sometimes becomes unbearable
which in turn can make the person sad and depressed the entire time. Therefore
it is necessary to seek medical advice and get it diagnosed properly. This will
help in deciding proper medication that will cure the varicose veins. If you
feel that the symptoms match, the first thing that you should do is to look for
a doctor or a health expert and discuss the problem with him and start your
medication.
