What kind of exercise is good for varicose veins?

Varicose veins are a common disease. After suffering from this disease, it has a particularly serious impact on the patient's life and work, and sometimes it will have a serious impact on the patient's psychology. When conducting treatment, we must also pay attention to conditioning in life, especially through exercise. The effect of conditioning is particularly good. Through the following introduction, let us understand what kind of exercise is good for varicose veins?

1. Patients with varicose veins have damaged venous valves, so they should avoid activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as weightlifting, long jumping, sprinting, and throwing. However, they can engage in sports such as swimming, jogging, and cycling. It is best to wear elastic stockings when exercising.

2. Patients with varicose veins can do some medical exercises at ordinary times, such as lying flat on the bed, raising the affected limb 45 degrees and maintaining it for 1 to 2 minutes, or lifting the leg straight up and down for several minutes, and practicing 2 to 3 times a day to help speed up the blood return of the lower limb veins. This is also a more reasonable exercise for patients with varicose veins.

3. Squatting is also a more reasonable exercise for patients with varicose veins. Simple squatting exercises can not only exercise muscles, but are also good for joints. It can not only effectively prevent varicose veins and calf cramps, but also promote blood circulation and enhance physical fitness.

4. Patients with varicose veins should insist on brisk walking 4 times a day, each time for 15 minutes, which can effectively relieve symptoms. Because when you walk fast, the gastrocnemius muscles move more vigorously and are constantly active, and the veins act like water pumps, supplying the blood accumulated in the varicose veins to the heart. At the same time, due to the acceleration of local microcirculation, the metabolism of varicose veins is also accelerated, and the veins can return to normal faster.

Through the above introduction, we know what exercises are good for treating or regulating varicose veins in normal times. However, the most important thing for varicose veins is to go to a regular hospital for systematic treatment. In addition, you should also actively adjust your daily life and diet. Long-term treatment and conditioning will improve the condition.
