the varicose veins
Antonio has written to us from Tafalla. How to cure varicose veins? he asked us. We won't give you a direct answer, Antonio, because every case is a world.
In fact, when talking about varicose veins, most people think that they are an aesthetic disease, but it must be taken into account that behind the varicose veins there is always a problem of blood circulation and, in some case, there may also be some serious problem of the heart.
To get out of the heart, the blood uses the arteries. This is how the body distributes the nutrients and oxygen it needs. To return, the blood uses the veins. The return journey from the top of the body is easy, since the blood descends due to gravity, but the return from the legs is not so easy: the path is long and against gravity. For this reason, there are valves in the veins of the legs so that the blood that flows upwards does not go down by weight alone. Blood is pumped by moving the muscles of the legs, so walking is good for speeding up circulation.
Sometimes it’s harder for the blood to make the way back and it builds up in certain areas. In these cases, the vein dilates and blood can pass through. But if the buildup lasts too long, the vein gives up and is unable to return to its normal shape. The varicose veins are dilated veins.
Today there is a wide range of treatments for varicose veins, but what has been said, Antonio, each case is a world, and if you have any problems, your doctor will give you the most direct advice.
