Weakness in the legs disease: how to get rid of it

How the woman’s walk and attitude change when she wears heels! Not only herself but also men like her more. But, unfortunately, the day on the heels makes itself felt: in the evening, most women experience terrible weakness in their feet. After several years, unpleasant sensations find their shape – the vascular retina appears on the legs. How to prevent the disease and help yourself at an early stage of it? Gobeauty Blog knows this.


Why there is a feeling of heaviness in the legs

The primary participant in circulation in the legs is a venous outflow. It operates on the principle of a system of valves that open under the influence of blood pressure and are closed automatically, thus preventing the backflow of blood. This mechanism ensures the flow of blood up to the heart, in particular by reducing the calf muscles and due to the pressure in the vessels of the stage.

When the walls of the vessels become thinner, or the person leads a non-active lifestyle, the venous outflow is disturbed. Most often, the symptoms of such a disorder develop gradually in the form of a feeling of heat or fatigue in the legs. Reduced blood circulation efficiency leads to a sense of brokenness in the legs as a result of the development of venous insufficiency.


How to relieve weakness in the legs at home

If the legs are swollen, first of all, it is necessary to exclude internal diseases requiring specialized treatment by a doctor. If the heaviness in the legs and swelling is caused by physiological reasons, namely difficulty in the outflow of fluid, then you should try treatment at home:

  • spend less time walking or standing and not wearing uncomfortable shoes and heels;
  • regularly arrange small periods of rest, trying to keep your feet in a raised state (for example, put a pillow under them, put your feet on the chair);
  • exercises will help strengthen the muscles and blood vessels;
  • massage is another right way to disperse blood and lymph (also useful in swelling);
  • medication – the use of unusual ointments or gels containing substances to strengthen the vascular wall, give good results.

How to treat leg swelling and impaired venous outflow by compression knitwear

A couple of decades ago, only elastic bandages were a compression treatment for leg swelling. Now the stores feature beautiful and comfortable stockings, socks and tights that are no different from ordinary non-medicinal products. Given their purpose, there are different classes of compression:


Grade 1 – preventive knitwear. It has low compression pressure and is used for the first symptoms or long journeys in sitting position.


Grade 2 – therapeutic and preventive. It is for people who have initial vein disease. Prevents disease progression and complications.


Grade 3 – medical. It has a high level of compression, which allows it to be used in the presence of cosmetic problems (convoluted dilated superficial veins).


Like any other disease, leg problems are more comfortable to prevent than cure. Therefore, we urge you to heed our advice and take action now. We wish you health and ease!
