Varicose Veins an Embarrassing Problem

Varicose veins appear under the skin and show through the skin in red or purple fine patterns. These are also known as spider veins. This is caused by several reasons like over exposure to sunlight, pregnancy, use of creams with steroids or could be hereditary too. This condition is more pronounced towards middle age when the skin becomes finer and the collagen effect is lost.

It is better to control the problem as treatment is usually surgery which is a very painful procedure. Support should be given to the veins to get comfort and relieve the pain and also to lessen the strain which worsens the problem. If the pain is around the ankle and there is swelling then elastic stockings which are specially meant for such problems are very effective. This is also a good remedy for varicose veins which have suddenly come up during pregnancy and are a temporary problem. To put on the stockings the leg should be dusted with a talcum powder first; the next step is to turn the stocking inside out after inserting your hand into it and pulling it out up to the heel; put your foot in and pull the stocking up as far as it goes on the leg. This is the right way to get your stocking in place.

To get surgical treatment done, the vein has to be tied just above the part where the varicose starts and before it meets the vein which is deeper down. The vein can also be removed with a method called stripping, where the vein is attached to a wire and drawn out at the ankle through an incision. The vein could also be removed through several smaller incisions in tiny pieces too. Removing a few of the veins does not matter as there are many other veins in the legs to compensate the flow of the blood.
