Surgeon tells what not to do with varicose veins
When treating varicose veins, you have to change your lifestyle.
Phlebologist surgeon Armen Avakyan spoke about this in more detail in an interview with Gazeta.Ru .
The doctor noted that intense exercise should be avoided. But one should not confuse this with completely abandoning sports; it is important to choose gentler exercises based on one's health condition.
Also, if you have this disease, you should stop taking hot baths.
The thing is that such a procedure increases the temperature. This causes a slowdown in the outflow of blood and the expansion of the venous vessels. Baths and saunas are also contraindicated.
Shoes should be comfortable. In addition, you should pay attention to compression tights, stockings or knee-highs, but it is better to refuse very tight clothes.
Excess weight only makes the situation worse. Therefore, when consulting with doctors, diet options should also be discussed.
It is advisable to reduce the amount of salty foods, heavy foods and fast carbohydrates.
In addition, you will have to give up aromatic and invigorating coffee, since the drink can overload the blood vessels.
