Female compatriots should not be too intimate with leggings

In late autumn, when the weather gets colder, leggings become a must-have item for women's daily wear. However, wearing leggings for a long time may cause varicose veins.

Varicose veins refer to the tortuosity and dilation of veins caused by blood stasis and weak vein walls.

Varicose veins can occur in many parts of the body. Varicose veins most commonly occur in the lower limbs. The incidence rate in women is slightly higher than in men, which is related to the fact that young women like to wear tight pants and leggings. Tight pants and socks make the entire leg the same width from top to bottom, and the buttocks and hips are often too tight. Blood in the lower limbs cannot flow smoothly to the heart, and is deposited in the veins, seriously affecting blood circulation. Regularly wearing high heels and boots can also cause varicose veins in the lower limbs.

In addition to deep vein thrombosis and deep vein lesions in the lower extremities, varicose veins are associated with long-term standing, heavy physical labor, or long-term sitting.

In daily life, people who sit for a long time and do not move much should get up and walk around every hour. You can take the method of brisk walking to prevent varicose veins in the lower limbs. When walking quickly, the rhythmic contraction of the calf muscles can act like a pump to promote the return of venous blood to the heart. You can also wear medical compression stockings under the guidance of a doctor to prevent and treat varicose veins. In addition, crossing your legs will hinder blood circulation in the lower limbs. When sitting for a long time, you should avoid crossing your legs and do more leg massages.

Experts remind that if you find earthworm-like tortuous blood vessels in your legs, you should go to the radiology department for lower limb venography in time.
