Doctor Chistyakova said that marathon running and cycling are prohibited for varicose veins
Sports doctor Alexandra Chistyakova called sports prohibited for varicose veins. Her words are quoted by Sport-Express.
These include running and cycling marathon distances, as a sharp and intense load leads to impaired blood circulation in the legs. Instead, you should take up light or shuffling running, in which the duration of the unsupported phase is reduced.
Also, do not engage in weightlifting, in particular to do squats under load, thrust and platform leg presses. In addition, step aerobics and weight jumping are not recommended, since with such a load there is a high probability of injuring an enlarged vein. Jumping rope can be a substitute.
On January 16, phlebologist Anna Nikitina said that tattooing on the skin of the legs damaged by varicose veins can lead to complications of the disease. The doctor also noted that the tattoo artist can accidentally pierce the inflamed vein with a needle.
