Varicose veins are visibly swollen and twisted veins that most typically affect the veins in the legs since standing and walking raise the pressure in the lower body’s veins. They are usually bulging and blue. With the hot summer sun beating down on us, health experts warn that if you have varicose veins, you must be particularly cautious and not take them lightly, otherwise, your discomfort may develop and you may suffer when the temperature rises.
Varicose veins also called varicose veins or varicosities, develop when our veins become swollen, dilated, and overfilled with blood. When blood flow is impeded, blood cannot flow as efficiently, resulting in veins that inflate, twist, and grow overly large. These veins are normally innocuous, though they can be unpleasant and disfiguring.
Varicose veins are a condition in which the veins become swollen and bulging. Discoloration of the skin around the veins, itching in the region surrounding the veins, discomfort after sitting or standing for a long time, heaviness in the legs, and even swelling of the lower thighs are all indications of varicose veins. You’ll be surprised to learn that varicose veins can get worse in the summer.”
During the summer, here are some tips for dealing with varicose veins:
Your symptoms, such as leg discomfort and edema, will be exacerbated by the intense summer heat. As a result, if you spend a lot of time outside in the heat, your legs will become heavy. Hot heat causes the veins to bulge, even more, causing a slew of problems. As one loses heat and maintains a consistent body temperature, hot temperatures widen the veins mostly on the surface of the skin.”
It is important to note that this is a typical reaction to heat, similar to sweating and does not necessarily indicate that the veins are aberrant. He outlined a few key measures for dealing with varicose veins in the summer:
1. Leg elevation: You may do this by lying down in your bed and resting your legs on a couple of pillows. This will guarantee that the legs receive adequate blood flow.
2. Stretch and exercise: If you don’t move at all, your discomfort will become worse. As a result, it is important to engage in physical exercise after consulting with a physician.
3. Massage your legs: Avoid sitting with your legs crossed. Massage your legs as well to improve blood flow to the veins. You must not, however, pressurize the veins.
4. Consult a doctor before using compression stockings to avoid unpleasant cramping.
5. Hydration is essential: Drink enough of water to keep your leg’s blood flowing correctly. Dehydration can induce tissue swelling and muscular cramps in the legs. Avoid alcohol, which might dehydrate you.
6. Get enough rest: Varicose veins cause leg swelling and soreness. As a result, getting enough rest is critical. Get a decent night’s sleep as well.
7. Avoid sitting for longer periods of time: Sitting for long periods of time can cause blood to pool in your legs, resulting in pain.
8. Wear loose clothing in the summer: Tight clothing puts undue strain on your veins. As a result, dress in loose, breathable clothing.
9. Wear the correct shoes: High heels tend to restrict calves’ movement, impede blood flow to the legs, and exacerbate edema and vein problems. As a result, only wear shoes that are correctly fitted.
