Title: Female Teachers at Risk for Varicose Veins, According to Interventional Radiology Expert
In a recent appearance on the “Sayidaty” program, interventional radiology and catheterization consultant Dr. Muhammad Al-Shammari highlighted the most common disease that may affect female teachers: varicose veins.
Dr. Al-Shammari explained that varicose veins are a result of the dilation and expansion of superficial veins in the lower extremities, caused by a defect in the valves. This leads to the reflux of blood from the body to the lower extremities.
One of the main reasons why female teachers are at risk for developing varicose veins, according to Dr. Al-Shammari, is due to the long hours they spend standing during classes. He pointed out that some teachers stand for up to 6 hours a day throughout the school year, which significantly increases their risk of developing the condition.
Furthermore, Dr. Al-Shammari emphasized that standing for long hours repeatedly is the most dangerous factor in the occurrence of varicose veins.
The revelation by Dr. Al-Shammari serves as an important reminder for female teachers to take proactive measures to protect their vascular health, such as taking short breaks to sit down during long periods of standing and wearing compression stockings.
As the issue gains attention, it is important for female teachers and educators to be aware of the potential risks and to take preventive measures to protect their health and well-being.]
