00:00Let's continue with our story of healing in Pinoy MD.
00:05Now, I'm sure a lot of you are interested in women and men
00:10who are experiencing what we call varicose veins.
00:14Isn't that right, Doc?
00:15It's a bit scary when we see this on our legs.
00:19Suddenly, there's a big wound.
00:22You know, Connie, these varicose veins,
00:24there are a lot of reasons we think about.
00:28Maybe it's because it's hereditary,
00:31or maybe it's because we've been standing for a long time.
00:35We don't know.
00:36We need to know what kind of disease it is
00:39and if we can prevent it from developing.
00:43That's why we shouldn't keep talking about varicose veins.
00:48How can we avoid it?
00:51Mary Grace, a 34-year-old woman who earns her living by selling snacks,
00:58isn't just ugly.
01:01She's been suffering from varicose veins for 15 years.
01:07But she's still struggling because she needs help
01:11to take care of her two children.
01:15Mary Grace earns her living by selling snacks.
01:19That's why it's not a joke how tired she is
01:22by earning her living by selling snacks
01:25and standing for a long time
01:27that could be harmful to her varicose veins.
01:31When I was still in high school,
01:33I noticed that I had varicose veins in my snacks.
01:38Until I got married,
01:42that's when it started.
01:45When I gave birth to my son,
01:47the varicose veins in my legs and feet became inflamed.
01:52For my family,
01:55I did everything I could to earn a living.
01:58My varicose veins didn't stop me from selling snacks.
02:07When they got married,
02:09Mary Grace couldn't avoid standing for a long time
02:12while doing housework.
02:15That's why her varicose veins got worse.
02:21Varicose veins are the result of high blood pressure.
02:25It's hard for the blood to flow
02:28and it accumulates in our veins.
02:31Because of this, the veins spread and contract.
02:36According to our dermatologist and MD co-host,
02:40Dr. Jean Marquez,
02:42varicose veins usually develop in women.
02:46In women,
02:48there's too much pressure in the uterus.
02:52The uterus is distended
02:54and it causes pressure in the iliac veins.
02:59The iliac veins are connected to the superficial veins
03:03that can be seen in the uterus.
03:05One of the most common varicose veins
03:08is those that have been standing for a long time
03:11while working.
03:13Another very common cause is prolonged standing.
03:18This can be seen in those who have jobs
03:21and are always standing,
03:23like teachers and security guards.
03:27To cure the varicose veins of Mary Grace,
03:31she uses something.
03:33I use a half-glass bottle
03:36that contains ginger and oil.
03:39It helps to get rid of the itchiness and pain
03:43of my varicose veins.
03:46But according to Dr. Jean,
03:48ginger oil doesn't help in curing varicose veins.
03:53Ginger can irritate the skin,
03:57especially if you mix it with oil.
04:00With the friction, the oil can really heat up.
04:04It can be damaging to the skin
04:06and cause skin irritation.
04:08But at the same time,
04:09it will not be helpful for the varicose veins.
04:11Welcome back to Pinoy, Andy!
04:13Let's continue talking about varicose veins.
04:16I heard that there are home remedies
04:22that can be done at home.
04:25As far as I know,
04:27we have non-medical measures for varicose veins.
04:31As you know,
04:32it's not just the appearance that's the problem.
04:34The biggest concern of women,
04:38even men who have varicose veins,
04:41is the pain.
04:42Sometimes, the pain is very painful.
04:44Especially if they have been standing for a long time,
04:46it hurts.
04:47So we really need to address that problem.
04:51Well, here it is.
04:53We already know.
04:54This is what we need to talk about.
04:56Whether there is a continuation
04:59to our topic of varicose veins.
05:02It looks ugly,
05:04but it's very painful.
05:06Because it's not a joke
05:08that the varicose veins are protruding.
05:12Varicose veins are the result of high blood pressure.
05:16Blood flow is difficult,
05:18so it accumulates in our veins.
05:22Because of this,
05:23the veins spread and swell.
05:27Mary Grace's snack shop
05:30has been struggling with varicose veins for 15 years.
05:35Especially when she's walking
05:37and always standing when she sells.
05:40Like now,
05:41it's cold,
05:42it's painful.
05:44And when I walk for a long time,
05:49I stand,
05:51it hurts.
05:53Mary Grace only uses ginger oil
05:57to reduce the pain of her varicose veins.
06:01But experts do not recommend it.
06:05Ginger can irritate the skin.
06:09Especially if you mix it with oil.
06:11With the friction,
06:13the oil can really heat up.
06:15So it can be damaging to the skin.
06:18It can cause skin irritation.
06:20At the same time,
06:21it will not be helpful for the varicose veins.
06:25To avoid varicose veins,
06:27it's good to eat foods with a lot of fiber.
06:31Eat foods that can improve the circulation of the blood.
06:36Circulation of the blood,
06:37especially in the intestines,
06:39of course, the whole body.
06:40Vegetables are very important
06:44because the fiber can actually decrease constipation.
06:49So if you're not constipated,
06:51there will be less pressure on your veins,
06:54on the big roots.
06:57Make sure that you eat foods rich in flavonoids,
07:00such as fruits and vegetables.
07:03And of course,
07:04those high in flavonoids
07:07or antioxidant-rich foods.
07:10And these are the colored vegetables
07:15and also fruits of different colors.
07:19Because the flavonoids can actually improve the strength
07:23or the strength of the roots.
07:27Celery is a perfect example
07:29because it's rich in vitamin K.
07:32It's also good to eat nuts
07:34and anti-inflammatory foods.
07:37It means
07:38it helps in the good circulation of blood
07:41in the big roots of the body.
07:45If you've been standing for a long time,
07:47don't forget to move around.
07:49Move around or walk around.
07:52Do this for 15 to 20 minutes.
07:56Compression stockings can also help.
08:00Compression stockings can be used as a preventive
08:03so that a person won't develop varicose veins.
08:09Especially if you know that you're always standing at work,
08:13it's better to use compression stockings.
08:17If you don't have varicose veins,
08:20it's better if you go under sclerotherapy.
08:24This is the injection of sclerosis solution
08:27to close the protruding roots.
08:30What will happen there,
08:32the solution will irritate the lining of the blood vessels,
08:35causing it to collapse.
08:37Then they will stick together.
08:38There will be no blood flow going in there.
08:40The system will be able to eliminate it.
08:45There are 3 to 5 treatment sessions
08:48needed to complete sclerotherapy.
08:54Due to the worsening condition of Mary Grace's varicose veins,
08:57we consulted Dr. Bernadette Chua.
09:02She has a lot of large varicose veins.
09:06It's not the worst stage,
09:09but it's bad enough that it should be treated.
09:13It's a bit big.
09:15Does it hurt?
09:17No, it's okay.
09:18It's okay?
09:19Yes.
09:33That's it.
09:34Remove it.
09:39Thank you, Dr. Bernadette Chua.
09:44Mary Grace needs to go back to the clinic
09:47to go under some more treatment sessions.
09:51I will continue to do this so that she can recover.
