Al-Marsad newspaper: Dr. Armen Avakian, a specialist in venous surgery at Pirogov University Hospital, said that exposing the legs to the sun for those suffering from varicose veins may pose a threat to their lives.
He continued, “There is a possibility of infection of the walls of the veins in those suffering from varicose veins in the summer, which leads to thrombophlebitis, which is accompanied by complications, including deep vein thrombosis, and this constitutes a real danger to life.”
He added, those who suffer from varicose veins should take care of their legs, because in hot weather the movement of blood in the body slows down. It is advised to pay attention to the appearance of a “vein network” on the skin
