I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these varicose wounds for the last three months, and they come with crazy itching and burning sensations. The Doppler scan showed mildly dilated long saphenous veins due to an incompetent sapheno-femoral junction and a few incompetent perforators. Luckily, there's no sign of deep venous thrombosis, but still, it sounds serious to me. She's taking medications like OCID DSR, Gabamax Gold, CALDOB, and Ecosprin. I'm just trying to understand how severe this condition is and how long it might take for her to fully recover. Are there any specific precautions or recommendations we should follow to help her heal faster? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

View allI've just had surgery for my varicose veins, and after finding out about them, I quit using tobacco altogether. Before the surgery, I was pretty into marijuana, and I'm wondering if I start using it again, but without any tobacco, could that worsen my vein issues?
It's great that you've quit tobacco, as it helps your recovery. Using marijuana without tobacco might not directly aggravate varicose veins, but smoking of any kind can impact circulation and healing. It's best to avoid it entirely to promote long-term vein health.

I'm experiencing some pain and tenderness behind my knee when I try to straighten my leg, along with a tight feeling and a weird tingling in my foot. I just flew for 21 hours to Australia. Should I be concerned about the possibility of having DVT?

I just woke up with a purple to blue vein under my armpit. I exercise and have been experiencing a bit of leg pain, probably from sitting for hours working on my computer. Is this something dangerous? How can I naturally cure it?
The blue or purple color may indicate that the vein is not getting enough oxygen, which could be a sign of poor circulation. To naturally help improve circulation and alleviate the symptoms, you can try elevating your legs when sitting for long periods, staying hydrated, and incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Additionally, foods rich in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, and nuts can also support vascular health. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
