    The Cause Of Leg Pains And Varicose Veins

    The Basic Cause

    Varicose veins are a condition which causes the veins in the legs (usually) that causes twisting and swelling in the veins. These veins can cause heaviness in the legs, itching, fatigue, cramps, swelling, and may be a contributing factor to restless leg syndrome. Normal veins only enable the blood to flow upward to the heart and lungs; however when the vein is malfunctioning the blood tends to pool, causing the swelling and there fore the leg pain and varicose veins.

    During Pregnancy

    During the first trimester of pregnancy some women may experience leg pain and varicose veins; these may be indicated by swollen veins around the knees or other points on the legs. These veins would normally dissolve after as little as 3 months after the birth of their baby. Sometimes however, if pregnancies are close together, varicose veins and leg pain can become a problem lasting past delivery.

    Other Related Diseases

    Varicose veins are a malfunction of the deeper veins, unlike the surface veins which cause spider veins; other troubles of the deeper veins can include blood clots, abnormal blood vessels, and injury to those deep veins. Usually varicose veins and leg pain that goes with it's simply that, however these other conditions can also be realized by the same symptoms.

    Treatment

    When the leg pain and varicose veins are verified by a doctor there are a lot treatments available; some are medical and some are homeopathic. Among the medical treatments, a lot are only employed if there is a risk of blood clots or other life jeopardizing condition; purely cosmetic motives are often treated by the homeopathic methods, using vitamins, stockings, and exercise.

    Walking, riding a bicycle, and swimming are amazing exercises for people suffering from the varicose veins and pain that goes with them; this can aid by increasing the circulation to the entire body and may prevent the blood from pooling as severely. Wearing compression stockings can also aid to reduce the discomfort of the varicose veins and leg pain.

    Prevention
    Controlling ones weight and periodically exercising will add to preventing the varicose veins and leg pain, because the less pressure and more circulation the legs have, the more comfortable a person suffering from the condition will feel. Additionally keeping legs elevated and standing regularly when sitting for stretches are important will also prevent excessive pooling of the blood in the legs and the consequent swelling of the veins that go with it.

    Varicose veins are painful, an ounce of prevention can save a person from the agonizing effects of the varicose veins; using these suggestions and the advice of a doctor will aid a person who suffers from the condition and hopefully prevent undue discomfort.
