Phlebologist Anna Nikitina: if you have varicose veins, you should avoid being under the sun because of the risk of complications.
Doctor Nikitina said in an interview that people with varicose veins should not sunbathe, because the effect of ultraviolet rays on the body with varicose veins aggravates their unhealthy condition. The doctor explained that the development of varicose veins is closely related to the poor elasticity of the vascular walls. Exposure to the sun makes the vascular tissue even more fragile and prone to inflammation.
In addition, for people with varicose veins in conditions of intense heat and sun, the risk of thrombosis increases.
