We may assume that varicose and spider veins are an unwanted fact of getting older, but we have more control over them than we think. Diet, smoking and exercise all play a significant role.

So, Who’s At Risk?

Our veins contain valves that stop our blood succumbing to gravity and travelling backwards. If these stop functioning and don’t close properly, blood starts to collect in the veins, forming blood clots. Over time, these congested veins become swollen, blue and painful, forming varicose veins. Spider veins are smaller than varicose veins, and are more common. Varicose and spider veins aren’t only hereditary. Women are almost three times more likely to suffer than men, because of hormonal factors and pressure on pelvic veins during pregnancy. Being overweight is another risk factor, as is standing all day.

Prevention

As with any lifestyle-related problem, prevention is better than cure. Avoid standing still for longer than 30 minutes at a time, don’t smoke and exercise regularly. If you’re starting to see the first signs of varicose or spider veins, don’t be tempted to sit with your legs up. The act of sitting kinks the veins in the upper leg and that in turn creates back pressure. Another way to take the strain off is to have a bath in the evening. This is because the heat of the water forces blood vessels to dilate. Fluid tends to accumulate in the lower legs during the day, which can make varicose and spider veins more swollen.

A Treatment That Really Works

If you already have mild to moderate varicose or spider veins, it’s best to nip the problem in the bud. Don’t let it escalate. In serious cases, treatments include surgery like ligation (tying off a vein) or stripping (removal of a large segment of vein). We recommend Hirudoid Forte Cream as the solution to varicose and spider veins. Hirudoid Forte Cream stands out from other creams because it is the only clinically proven venous disorder cream in the market. It goes beyond just relieving the symptoms of varicose and spider veins. It targets the root cause as well. Its active ingredient Mucopolysaccharide Polysulphate (MPS) reduces the size of blood clots in the veins and also prevents new clots from forming. It also treats and prevents inflammation. After 10 days of regular use, the unsightly veins will look less obvious; pain, bruising and swelling will disappear; and your legs will feel lighter. In fact, 98 per cent of users have affirmed that their symptoms were relieved after using Hirudoid Forte Cream.
