Warning: About 20% of the Philippine population suffers from varicose veins – a risk that can lead to gangrene, amputation, pulmonary embolism, cardiovascular disease and even stroke if not treated promptly.
Varicose veins will not heal if the vein walls are not strengthened
Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan: You may not know, Varicose veins are now considered a modern disease alongside hypertension and diabetes as the incidence of the disease increases rapidly in the Philippine population, especially the incidence in women is 3 times higher than in men. This is a disease of the lower limb venous system when blood from the legs returning to the heart is obstructed, causing circulatory stagnation in the lower limbs, swollen veins, which in the long term will greatly affect the health and quality of life of the patient.

Hôm nay, Tiến sĩ Jaime A. Galvez Tan, một bác sĩ từng là Thứ trưởng Bộ Y tế và cố vấn cho Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới (WHO), sẽ chia sẻ với các bạn cách điều trị chứng giãn tĩnh mạch tại nhà, mà không cần lo lắng về các biến chứng như hoại tử, thuyên tắc phổi hoặc đột quỵ mà không cần can thiệp y tế.
Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan: First, I want everyone to know what Varicose Veins are and that the disease is divided into 7 different levels. Everyone can compare themselves to know which level they are at to have the appropriate treatment method.
- Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other organs in the body and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
Varicose veins are swollen veins that can be seen through the skin. They are often blue, bulging and tortuous. If left untreated, varicose veins will worsen over time.
7 levels of varicose veins include:
- Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other organs in the body and veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
Varicose veins are swollen veins that can be seen through the skin. They are often blue, bulging and tortuous. If left untreated, varicose veins will worsen over time.
7 levels of varicose veins include:
- Level C0-1: This is the time when the veins begin to weaken slightly, there may be no symptoms or the superficial veins begin to dilate with a diameter of less than 3mm, commonly 1mm. This phenomenon often occurs in the following locations: inner ankle, thigh, calf, ....
Symptoms: Symptoms: Feeling of tightness, itching, tingling on the skin, restless legs, aching or pain when standing or sitting for a long time. Spider veins are dilated below the inner ankle, inner thigh. Varicose veins are smaller than 1mm, reticular varicose veins are smaller than 3mm
Risk: Aesthetics is the main problem, no health risks yet
Symptoms: Symptoms: Feeling of tightness, itching, tingling on the skin, restless legs, aching or pain when standing or sitting for a long time. Spider veins are dilated below the inner ankle, inner thigh. Varicose veins are smaller than 1mm, reticular varicose veins are smaller than 3mm
Risk: Aesthetics is the main problem, no health risks yet
- Level C2-3: Superficial veins under the skin are dilated, tortuous, the diameter of the varicose veins is over 3mm, edema in the feet and ankles
Symptoms: Leg pain, numbness, tingling and heaviness when walking, swelling, more severe aches and pains, cramps at night, Appearance of tiny blue and purple blood vessels on the skin
Risk: This is the most ideal stage for effective treatment. If not treated promptly, it can develop rapidly and be difficult to control, leading to phlebitis or thrombosis
Symptoms: Leg pain, numbness, tingling and heaviness when walking, swelling, more severe aches and pains, cramps at night, Appearance of tiny blue and purple blood vessels on the skin
Risk: This is the most ideal stage for effective treatment. If not treated promptly, it can develop rapidly and be difficult to control, leading to phlebitis or thrombosis
- Level C4: Dilated veins like chopsticks, blood stasis
Symptoms: Skin pigmentation disorders with dark skin patches, fatty skin sclerosis and skin keratinization, veins bulging on the skin, skin dimpling when pressed
Risk: Dilated veins cause the risk of blood stasis, serum reflux, increased risk of skin necrosis
Symptoms: Skin pigmentation disorders with dark skin patches, fatty skin sclerosis and skin keratinization, veins bulging on the skin, skin dimpling when pressed
Risk: Dilated veins cause the risk of blood stasis, serum reflux, increased risk of skin necrosis
- Level C5-6: Skin pigmentation changes with ulcers, rapid development of necrosis
Symptoms: This is the most severe stage of varicose veins with a series of complications of necrosis, blood clots, skin pigmentation changes, ...
Risk: Vein rupture, pulmonary reflux, blood vessel occlusion, stroke. Ulcers and necrosis, if not treated promptly, may require amputation
Symptoms: This is the most severe stage of varicose veins with a series of complications of necrosis, blood clots, skin pigmentation changes, ...
Risk: Vein rupture, pulmonary reflux, blood vessel occlusion, stroke. Ulcers and necrosis, if not treated promptly, may require amputation
The danger of varicose veins is that they can easily cause
Thrombosis complications: due to blood stagnation in the blood vessel wall, which can cause local blockage, creating ulcers, infections, and in many cases necrosis, requiring amputation of the leg.
Not stopping there, these blood clots can also flow through the bloodstream, and wherever they go, they will cause blockage there. Specifically, thrombosis is blocked in:
Thrombosis complications: due to blood stagnation in the blood vessel wall, which can cause local blockage, creating ulcers, infections, and in many cases necrosis, requiring amputation of the leg.
Not stopping there, these blood clots can also flow through the bloodstream, and wherever they go, they will cause blockage there. Specifically, thrombosis is blocked in:
- Cerebral blood vessels causing cerebral ischemia, stroke.
- Coronary arteries causing myocardial infarction.
- Pulmonary arteries causing pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure
Vein rupture complications:
The weakening and excessive dilation and swelling of the veins to a certain extent will exceed the elasticity of the vessel wall, leading to vein rupture.
When the vein ruptures, blood will spill out into the surrounding tissue. At this time, the risk of sepsis is very high, if not detected and treated promptly, it will cause many serious consequences later. More dangerously, if the vein ruptures in an important location such as the brain, death could be the most unfortunate consequence.

According to Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan, varicose veins are a silent and dangerous disease, not only in the Philippines but also around the world. The number of people with the disease is always at an alarming level and increasing every day.
Risk factors that can lead to varicose veins include:
Risk factors that can lead to varicose veins include:
- Genetic factors: High incidence in people with a family history of the disease.
- Age factor: The older you are, the more likely you are to get it.
- Endocrine factors: Hormone concentration disorders, hormonal imbalance in the body. Women and pregnant women are 3 times more likely to get varicose veins than men
- Life habits: Sitting a lot, standing a lot, little movement, wearing tight clothes, wearing high heels... all increase the risk of varicose veins.
- Diet: Eating little fiber, lacking vitamins, eating a lot of foods rich in saturated fat, drinking little water, drinking a lot of beer and alcohol... also increases the risk of getting sick. Especially for obese people
Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan advises that when people notice the following signs, they may have varicose veins that need early treatment:
Usually, the above symptoms will be more obvious at the end of the day, when the patient stands or sits for a long time, women during menstruation... In addition, symptoms of varicose veins will also become more obvious over time, the feeling of pain, heaviness, and discomfort will also increase.

- Feeling of tension in the calves, heavy and tired legs;
- Calves cramp at night, feeling like ants crawling;
- Swollen, itchy feet, especially in the ankle area;
- Inflammation, blue veins along the skin of the thighs, ankles or knees;
- Skin discoloration, ulcers or even soft tissue infections near the ankles;
- Veins that are blue or red under the skin (from as small as a hair to larger than a finger), scattered or concentrated in a cluster
Varicose veins are not simply a problem of blood stagnation or blue veins under the skin - but a direct result of weakened and weakened vein walls. In the body, veins are responsible for transporting blood from the limbs to the heart. To do that, the vein walls need to be elastic, strong and have an effective venous valve system.
However, when the vein walls become thin, weak and inelastic, blood pressure will cause the valves to leak, blood to flow back and stagnate in the lower limbs. This is the mechanism that causes varicose veins, swelling, night cramps, and prolonged leg pain - typical symptoms of the disease.
If the strength of the vein walls is not restored, all other treatments are only temporary. Even if you wear medical stockings, take varicose vein medication or have sclerotherapy, after a while, the symptoms can still recur because the root cause has not been resolved.
Therefore, modern medicine is shifting to root-based recovery methods, focusing on nourishing and regenerating blood vessels with nutrients and natural active ingredients - helping blood vessels return to a healthy state, thereby ending the vicious cycle of varicose veins. This is the foundation for more sustainable and safer solutions in the treatment of vascular diseases today.

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan Shares how to treat varicose veins at home without medication or invasive procedures
Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan: "I know that although patients know the symptoms of varicose veins, they cannot always make an accurate diagnosis, or they are really subjective about this disease. When they really realize the danger, the symptoms have become severe, and treatment will be very difficult and costly. I also understand that not everyone can afford expensive treatment or pay a huge amount of money for surgery. They hope to be treated with medicine bought at the store, but in fact, the medicine only has a temporary effect because it is an external intervention, and their body has already begun to be destroyed and gradually rotten. Using medicine for a long time only makes things worse, it can also cause side effects when the liver and kidneys have to work hard to protect the body, leading to exhaustion; the risk of high blood pressure and stroke can come at any time. I advise them to be careful when using drugs, especially non-prescription drugs purchased at drug stores.
I also want to share with everyone a method of treating varicose veins at home. With the use of a full course of treatment, your veins or capillaries will be cleaned, regenerate new cells, restore function, and reduce the pressure of pumping blood to the heart."

To be able to design the most effective treatment regimen, patients should understand their medical condition and before using VeinCare Plus, they should know the following 3 things:
1. Treatment regimen for each specific condition:
- According to the recommendations of the Department of Health (DOH), people with varicose veins at levels C1 to C3 should follow a treatment regimen of 3 to 5 cans, taken twice a day. For people with varicose veins for more than 5 months or at levels C4 to C6, a regimen of 5 to 10 cans should be used. Strictly following the prescribed treatment regimen will ensure the best results.
2. VeinCare Plus is not sold in pharmacies:
- VeinCare Plus can effectively support the venous system after just one appropriate treatment course. When using 3-5 cans, the product improves the venous one-way valve system, enhances cardiovascular function and reduces the risk of other related conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This means that these people will no longer need to take medication for these conditions. Therefore, pharmacies and sellers of these drugs will be directly affected by lost sales - something that no pharmacy wants.
3. VeinCare Plus is produced in very limited quantities and must be pre-ordered:
- Partly because the product contains high levels of maltodextrin, FOS, Isomalt, zinc gluconate, selenium, calcium gluconate and vitamins A, B1, B2, B9, B12, C and E, along with rare ingredients, combined with strict European manufacturing standards, the production quantity is very limited. The main reason for pre-ordering is to prevent scammers and resellers from taking advantage of the product and selling it at inflated prices.
