VARICOSE VEINS - THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF HEEL LOVING AND SKIN SHOWING BELLES

Hi everyone.
I know you all missed my post last week, so I thought to do this one today and inform us all officially that it would be the last for this year..

What are varicose veins? Look at the picture above and wonder no more.
These are veins which have become enlarged, twisted and easily seen through the skin. They usually occur in the legs. Have we ever seen stuff like this? Or do we suffer from it ourselves? Does it give us cause for concern? Then today is a special day, because I bring you answers!
Genius medical researches have revealed that varicose veins result when the valves (structures inside of veins put inplace by God to prevent blood from flowing backward, as it flows toward the heart)  in the veins of the legs become incompetent/weakened. Consequently gravity wins, pulling blood backward/downward. This gravitational pull on blood results in the pooling in the veins which can easily be seen through the skin. As shown in the picture above.
Studies have also shown that women are more prone to developing varicose veins than men (doesn't mean men do not suffer from it as well). Among women, some are more prone to developing it than others (Namely: Those who stand/walk around for long periods and believe in their superhuman ability to do so in high heeled shoes-hair stylists/barbers, professional ushers, receptionists). Generally, predisposing factors include: Age, obesity, pregnancy and constipation.
Treatment options include: wearing of support stocking/hose (to help hold the veins inplace), elevating of legs epecially when sitting, putting on flat shoes (shout out to all my "prone" belles who just have to rock heels), and "Sclerotherapy" (injection of saline "by health experts" into affected veins to collapse them).
Hope this helps soothe your concerns.
Have yourselves a very Merry Christmas!!.
