Did you notice that the veins became more noticeable? What to do when the veins on the legs are visible depends on many factors. First of all - the presence or absence of varicose veins.

- duplex scanning of veins of lower extremities (ultrasound);
- external examination by a vascular surgeon;
- checking the tone of the veins.
If the external examination has established that there are no abnormal structural changes in the veins, intravascular formations and hemodynamically significant disturbances of blood flow in the superficial and deep veins are absent, so it is not varicose veins, but a general venous insufficiency , which is easily eliminated. Usually in such a situation, venotonic drugs are prescribed in the form of tablets and ointments, as well as compression linen with a low compression ratio. The situation is normalized in a few months.
There are cases when the veins on the legs are visible due to the fineness of the skin. This phenomenon is often found in young girls and is not a pathology. To correct a situation it is possible by means of sunburn and autosunburn, and also ointments with a horse chestnut. The chestnut extract strengthens the walls of the veins, they become less wide and not so noticeable.
