Varicose veins forces his feet every third woman.
Ointments and gels do not give a bad result, both in treatment and in the prevention of this ailment. However, no secret, self -medication is dangerous of unforeseen consequences. It is impossible to predetermine the influence of this or that drug on specifically your body (even if the indications are similar to symptoms, and nothing of the kind is indicated in the side effects). My advice to you, noticed the first manifestations of varicose veins – urgently to the doctor! Diagnoses is his work.
But what if the visit to the doctor is postponed (it is usually a queue for competent specialists and they are not always cheap). And there is a way out! At all times, the safest method of prevention was physical exercises. Each stage of the disease is distinguished by its own characteristics, but for each of them, gymnastics will only be useful. And its use in the early stages will help to avoid the sad development of the disease.
