How to relieve varicose veins
1. First, keep exercising
Make sure you have a moderate amount of exercise every day. It is recommended to choose more moderate fitness exercises, such as walking, yoga, etc. According to the recommendations of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): exercise no less than 30 minutes a day, 7 days a week; but if you really can't persist, you should exercise at least 20 minutes a day, at least 3 to 5 days a week. In addition, pregnant women who usually sit and stand for a long time are recommended to do more leg-raising postures.
2. In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat more foods rich in dietary fiber
such as vegetables and fruits. You can usually do more buttocks exercises and practice deep breathing, which is helpful to promote intestinal peristalsis and ensure smooth excretion during pregnancy. Under normal circumstances, healthy pregnant women are recommended to control their weight gain around 12kg throughout pregnancy. Too much weight gain during pregnancy will cause a lot of harm to pregnant women, so it is recommended to eat scientifically.
3. Correct and cultivate the correct sleeping position
It is recommended to sleep on the left side as much as possible to reduce the pressure of the uterus on the inferior vena cava, thereby alleviating the venous pressure borne by our legs and feet. Pregnant women can also use a soft pillow to elevate their feet when sleeping at night to help blood circulation.
In fact, when it comes to the issue of varicose veins, many pregnant women are most concerned about whether it will affect the fetus or mother. We can rest assured about this. According to research, varicose veins during pregnancy will not hinder the systemic circulation of pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much. A happy mood during pregnancy is also important.
Although it generally has no effect, if a pregnant woman feels tenderness, heat, redness and swelling in the veins of the lower limbs, or is accompanied by fever, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, etc., it may be that blood clots in the veins of the lower limbs flow to the lungs. Causes pulmonary venous emboli. This kind of situation requires timely treatment and treatment cannot be delayed.
