Spider Veins

Question: spider veins? Are there any natural options to get rid of unsightly spider veins? Laser and all is definitely a nono.

Answer: Sclerotherapy is a medical procedure used to eliminate varicose veins and "spider veins." Sclerotherapy involves an injection of a solution (such as sodium chloride, a salt solution) directly into the vein. The solution irritates the lining of the blood vessel, causing it to swell and stick together, and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns into scar tissue that fades from view. Sclerotherapy is a well-proven procedure and has been in use since the 1930s.

Answer: Heres the causes...if you go to the site it will show all different treatments for them "What causes varicose veins and spider veins? The heart pumps blood filled with oxygen and nutrients to the whole body. Arteries carry blood from the heart towards the body parts. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood from the body back to the heart. The squeezing of leg muscles pumps blood back to the heart from the lower body. Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps. These valves prevent the blood from flowing backwards as it moves up the legs. If the one-way valves become weak, blood can leak back into the vein and collect there. This problem is called venous insufficiency. Pooled blood enlarges the vein and it becomes varicose. Spider veins can also be caused by the backup of blood. Hormone changes, inherited factors, and exposure to the sun can also cause spider veins. How common are abnormal leg veins? About 50 to 55% of American women and 40 to 45% of American men suffer from some form of vein problem. Varicose veins affect 1 out of 2 people age 50 and older. Who usually has varicose veins and spider veins? Many factors increase a person's chances of developing varicose or spider veins. These include: * Increasing Age * Having family members with vein problems or being born with weak vein valves * Hormonal changes. These occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Taking birth control pills and other medicines containing estrogen and progesterone also increase the risk of varicose or spider veins * Pregnancy. During pregnancy there is a huge increase in the amount of blood in the body. This can cause veins to enlarge. The expanding uterus also puts pressure on the veins. Varicose veins usually improve within 3 months after delivery. A growing number of abnormal veins usually appear with each additional pregnancy * Obesity, leg injury, prolonged standing and other things that weaken vein valves * Sun exposure, which can cause spider veins on the cheeks or nose of a fair-skinned person"

Question: How can i prevent or get rid of spider veins? I am only 16 and i am already getting spider veins. This is very frustrating because i feel less attractive and i am afraid to wear shorts in public. Could it be because i work standing up 9 hours a day on the weekends and on the weekdays i have softball and drumline practice (average of 4 hours worth per night). Please help.

Answer: The other answerer is correct. Spider veins occur in many, many people. It is just something that your body does. And, no one looks that closely at a person's legs when wearing shorts that they could see the spider veins without getting their face very close to your legs. And, your legs will probably become more tan during the summer which will also help to hide them. People do not examine pt's legs closely except to notice in passing that they have an attractive shape to their legs, etc. You need to ignore these and later, when you are older and have some money saved up, you can go to a laser clinic to reduce their appearance but you would probably be wasting your money because if your body does this now, it will continue to do it all of your life.
