Varicose Veins - Everything You Need To Know

Why Do We Get Varicose Veins? 

Varicose veins are a common condition affecting about 30% of adults. They occur when the valves in the veins don't work properly, causing blood to pool and the veins to enlarge and become distorted.

In this article, we want to provide you with a brief but informative overview of:

  • How to recognize varicose veins

  • What causes varicose veins

  • What are the symptoms of varicose veins

  • How to deal with varicose veins

  • How to prevent varicose veins

How to Recognize Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins usually appear as dark blue or purple lines or lumps under the skin. The veins in the legs and feet are most commonly affected, but they can also be found in other parts of the upper body, most often the hands.

A large percentage of varicose veins are enlarged, bulging, and visible to the naked eye. They can be painful, itchy, or cause a feeling of heaviness in the legs. 

Other symptoms of varicose veins include:

  • Swelling of the legs

  • Blood clots

  • Cream or red spots on the skin

  • Changes in skin color and texture

What Causes Varicose Veins?

A number of factors can contribute to the development of varicose veins, including:

  • Heredity

  • Overweight

  • Pregnancy

  • Standing or sitting for long periods - the pressure exerted on them

  • Repetitive leg movements

  • Vein trauma

How to Deal with Varicose Veins?

There are several ways to deal with varicose veins, including:

  • Medications: Some medications can help improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation. Take these only after consulting a doctor!

  • Surgery: Surgery may be necessary in severe cases of varicose veins.

  • Home remedies: Some natural remedies, such as horse chestnut ointments, foot baths with bath salts, raising the legs, wearing compression stockings, and massage, can help relieve the symptoms of varicose veins

  • Soothing massages with creams specifically for varicose veins can relieve the condition. One such cream is InaEssentials' Varicose Vein Soothing Cream. It is suitable for everyone, even pregnant women with varicose veins. If you are curious, just click on the picture or the blue button. :)

How to Prevent Varicose Veins?

You can do several things to help prevent varicose veins, including:

  • Maintain a healthy weight and drink plenty of water

  • Exercise regularly and maintain physical activity

  • Avoid standing or sitting for long periods

  • Elevate your legs when sitting

  • Wear compression stockings

  • Massage your limbs and take soothing baths


In most cases, varicose veins are not serious and can be managed with lifestyle changes and home remedies and ointments with horse chestnut, for example.

However, if you notice any of the symptoms of varicose veins or hemorrhoids, it is important to consult a doctor to make sure there is no more serious medical condition.
