In layman terms varicose veins is the penalty for verticality gainst gravity, they are common in persons who stands a lot or walks for that matter, ike in case of surgeons like me , bus conductors,watchmen, etc.
So it can be a potential for u too but its not a disease which cant be treated and its not hard and fast that u will get that.

Rene Heasman answers:

Yes, there are a whole lot of treatment options, starting with supportive legwear, through to cutting (“avulsing”) the veins below the knee, and stripping from knee to groin.

Obviously, you would want to avoid surgery unless you were getting a lot of pain, or unwanted skin changes due to the varicosities.

Varicose veins runs in my family. One of my older relatives recently underwent Endovenous Laser Therapy for treating varicose veins in her legs. It cost roughly $400+ and the procedure itself is relatively new. However, it is a less invasive treatment option compared to other kinds (like Phlebectomy). The EVLT procedure works in minor-to-moderate cases of varicose veins.

I myself have had to suffer through a variant of those bluish spider veins. I first learned to mask it (using creams like Preparation H and VeneSanar) and am currently undergoing a non-surgical treatment toward a more permanent cure.

I think you are talking about hemorrhoids.

Or then again, I didn’t realize you could get them on your buttocks.

Hi!
Varicose veins are such a pain, huh. No wonder vein and pain rhyme. LOL.
Anyways, a great thing to hide them with is a body makeup called Dermablend. They sell it online and even at JcPenney. It’s not that expensive but most of all, it WORKS! Waterproof, sweatproof. I used it while I was pregnant and had a few of those little pesky stretch marks.
If you don’t want to go that route, a heavy concelear set with powder will do but not for as long as the Dermablend.
Luckily, this summer the trend is longer shorts (thank God!) so you can always rock that look too.
Good luck and you’ll look great no matter what you chose!

The heat may aggravate the pooling or stagnation of the blood in the dilated veins. This could make the aching worse. There may also be concern that the prominent veins are vulnerable to damage

Rene Heasman answers:

I don’t think it matters. But theoretically, cold water is better, because it causes your surface blood vessels to constrict and blood to pool around your core. Hot water causes your surface blood vessels to expand, so more blood travels through them and they become thicker and more noticeable. Spider veins are also reduced in appearance this way–they are caused by repeated flushing of your skin (that is, repeated dilations of blood vessels at the surface). But this only works for the duration of the shower. You’d be better off taking only cold showers, and using the money you save from the heating costs to pay to get your varicose veins and/or spider veins removed.

Rene Heasman answers:

Depends on how bad they are. I had some little spider
veins, (you could see them but they weren’t raised ),
I had them zapped with a laser and they were less noticeable
or disappeared completely. Go to a doctor or laser center
for a consultation.

Rene Heasman answers:

Saline doesnt work as well as glycerin and sotrdecol injections. Now if you have varicosities you may have an ambulotry phlebectomy. Find a board certified dermatologist who specializes and has expeirence in this feild

Rene Heasman answers:

In the hands of an experienced doctor, endovenous (inside the vein) laser treatment of varicose veins is very effective.

External treatment may improve appearance, but for how long???

You speak with an expert is better… Good luck!

I hope they don’t say anything,… But it may be something a Dr should take a look at!

Rene Heasman answers:

Don’t spend long periods standing (so no waitress or nurse jobs). Don’t carry extra weight, and don’t wear high heels.

You’ll probably get them eventually no matter WHAT you do.
