High Heel Shoes Increase the Chance of Varicosis�@Pathological Changes

According to surgical specialist��s information, there is only one male patient in every four female patients of varicosis. Women wearing high heel shoes worsen the situation of varicosis. As the heels of shoes are so high without any movement in the ankle joints for a period of time, the function of blood pump in the venous valves of the legs will thus be lessened and the back flow of the blood leads to varicosis easily. Especially for those pregnant women, the pressure of the baby will make the blood cannot flow back to the heart, the condition will be much more dangerous when affected by other external factors.

The legs of some varicosis patients will bend easily because of the swelling of the blood vessels. For some serious cases, the skin may even fester. Nowadays, besides the treatments like wearing pressure socks, foam injection sclerotherapy and traditional surgery, laser or minimally invasive surgery is also newly developed.
