Poor circulation is not always associated with a cold or tingly sensation.
Very dangerous
People with diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity are more prone to poor circulation. In the worst cases, poor circulation leads to amputation. Oleg Varfolomeev, a cardiologist, named hair loss among various signs of circulatory disorders.
For men, smooth skin on the legs and feet means that the hair follicles are not getting enough nourishment. But the lack of blood flow to the legs can quickly develop into more dangerous symptoms, Varfolomeev warned.
Cold feet and numbness all year round
If the rest of your body is warm and your feet aren’t getting warm, and you’re still in pain, then the problem is likely poor circulation. In fact, insufficient blood flow to the feet is a common cause of cold feet.
At the same time, the tingling that accompanies numbness in the legs can cause balance problems and mask potential leg injuries.
Ulcers
Poor circulation is clogged arteries that reduce the amount of blood reaching the legs. All this eventually leads to non-healing ulcers. As the cardiologist explained, open sores can occur on the lower leg and may not even hurt.
Therefore, many consider them harmless. Any recurring sores or sores that do not heal should not be ignored and should be treated to avoid infection and further complications, the doctor warned.
