Vein Treatment Center Medicus Veincare Discusses Prevention of Varicose Veins

    WEST PALM BEACH, FL, February 21, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Varicose veins are a problem that many individuals begin to face as they age. The vein treatment doctors at Medicus Veincare want to encourage their patients to take steps towards preventing the formation of varicose veins.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Veins within the legs are able to pump blood back to the heart and lungs thanks to your leg muscles. This is normally a one-way trip for the blood, but if the valves inside your veins fail, blood can pool within a vein, creating a varicose vein. These veins can bulge out of the skin and look unpleasant.

Women are slightly more likely to suffer from varicose veins than men are, but being overweight, having a genetic predisposition towards weaker valves and daily activity with extended periods of sitting or standing can encourage the appearance of these veins in both sexes.

The laser vein treatment specialists at Medicus Veincare believe that preventing varicose veins should start as early in adulthood as possible. You can begin your prevention efforts by adding low impact exercises that focus on your legs to your workout routine. Swimming and biking are ideal activities that don't put extra strain on the legs.

Outside of exercise, the varicose vein treatment experts recommend wearing compression stockings to slow down the progression of the disease as well as provide some symptom relief.
