Varicose veins in men
The attitude of men to the problem of varicose veins is different.
Male organism is not under the influence of estrogens, which weaken the vein wall in women. Therefore, men do not often suffer from microvarices, but mostly from larger, so called stem varicose veins.
Varicose veins are usually not an aesthetic problem for men, they come when a large varicose vein starts to hurt or inflammates.
In addition, men come to the doctor late, at a time of widespread swelling, changes on the skin due to poor nutrition, which may result in permanent changes on the skin, especially around the ankles.
The treatment usually consists of varicose veins surgery with laser.
