In recent years, vascular diseases have become widespread around the world. Among them, varicose veins are the most common.
According to Fazliddin Bahriddinov, head of the department at the Republican Specialized Scientific-Practical Medical Center of Surgery named after academician V. Vakhidov, many people consider this disease only an aesthetic problem. However, if no measures are taken in time, varicose veins can pose a serious threat to health.
The specialist notes that the disease is most often seen in women aged 25–45. The main reason for this is pregnancy. At the same time, men also show increased susceptibility to varicose veins at the age of 45–50.
The causes of varicose veins include heredity, prolonged standing, obesity, physical inactivity, hormonal changes, endocrine diseases and chronic overload.
At the initial stage, heaviness in the legs, fatigue, swelling and rapid tiredness are observed. Later, venous nodules, vein bulging, skin itching, dermatitis and other symptoms may appear. If the disease is neglected, it can lead to thrombophlebitis, trophic ulcers or even death.
Doctors recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle, controlling body weight, avoiding long standing, and giving up tight clothing and high-heeled shoes to prevent the disease.
