varicose veins and their intensity among nurses. A cross-sectional study was car- ried out among 203 nurses from three hospitals in Amol, Iran. “Varicose veins of the legs among nurses: Occupational and demographic characteristics” found that the prevalence of varicose veins (of varying degrees) was 72.4%, with women having a higher prevalence compared with men (77.9% vs. 56.9%). Accord- ing to the study, a patient’s occupation can be among the factors that intensify vein disorders. Blood hydrostatic force in standing position along with other intrinsic factors such as heredity can contribute to varicose creation because upwards blood pumping takes place with muscle contraction. Standing is worse than walking for varicose patients and hydrodynamics pressure does not help blood discharge in this state.
Treatment & Solutions
My number one suggestion for people on their legs all day is to wear a good, trusted brand of graduation compression stocking. After years of wearing compres- sion almost daily, I have tried a variety of brands and styles and I encourage patients to fi nd the right fi t for them. In addition to preventing leg swelling and fatigue, wear- ing compression can also be a good di- agnostic tool. If the compression makes a profound difference in how a patient’s legs feel, it may be aiding a “hidden” venous issue, one that could be very treatable.
