Hello everyone and welcome to our popular science moment!
Today, we're going to take a relatively common one.
But it is also a health problem that is often overlooked.
Varicosity. 
Varicose veins are a vascular disease that usually occurs in the legs. Normally, blood flows smoothly through blood vessels to the heart, but when blood vessels are damaged or their walls weaken, blood becomes trapped in the blood vessels, causing them to dilate and varicose, forming so-called varicose veins.
The occurrence of varicose veins is usually associated with the following factors:
Genetic factors: If you have cases of varicose veins in your family, then you may have an increased risk of developing the disease.
Gender: Women are more likely to develop varicose veins, which may be related to the increased hormone levels during pregnancy and the effects of fertility on the veins.
Standing or sitting for long periods of time: Staying in the same position for long periods of time increases the risk of developing varicose veins.
Obesity: Excess weight increases the burden on the venous system of the lower extremities and increases the likelihood of vascular damage.
Varicose veins may cause leg pain, swelling, cramping, and even ulcers. In the early stages, symptoms may be less noticeable, but as the disease progresses, symptoms may become more pronounced and distressing.
Stay active: Regular exercise can help improve blood circulation and reduce the burden on your blood vessels. Proper exercise such as walking, swimming, etc. are all good options.
Maintain a healthy weight: By maintaining a proper weight, you can reduce the burden on the venous system of the lower extremities.
Eat right: A balanced diet is essential for maintaining vascular health. Eat more fiber-rich foods and reduce your intake of high-fat, high-salt foods.
Wear appropriate shoes: Avoid wearing shoes that are too tight or too high, and choosing the right shoes can help maintain normal blood circulation.
Regular check-ups: If you have a family history or have symptoms of varicose veins, it's important to have regular check-ups and consult a medical professional.
