Millions of Filipinos are developing varicose veins without realizing it
Millions of Filipinos are developing varicose veins without realizing it
Millions of Filipino women are experiencing heavy legs, swelling, and visible veins — without realizing these symptoms may worsen over time if left untreated.

Heavy legs, swelling, and pain after work are often dismissed as “normal.”
But doctors say this is how varicose veins silently progress.
As vein walls weaken, blood flow worsens — leading to persistent pain, bulging veins, skin darkening, and serious complications over time.
Nearly 35% of Filipinos are already affected — most wait until it’s too late.

Why Varicose Veins Don’t Get Better on Their Own
Varicose veins will not heal if the vein walls are not strengthened
Doctors note that long-term vein health depends on nutrients that support vein strength and circulation.
When the body lacks these, veins become more vulnerable to pressure and damage over time.
That’s why managing varicose veins often requires more than topical relief.

“Varicose veins are increasingly considered a modern health condition, affecting a growing number of people in the Philippines—particularly women, who are at higher risk than men.
This condition develops when blood circulation in the legs becomes less efficient, placing ongoing pressure on the lower limb veins.
Over time, weakened veins may struggle to support healthy blood flow, leading to swelling, discomfort, and a gradual decline in quality of life if not properly managed.”

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.

🔹 Stage C2–C3: Disease Begins to Progress
The veins become visibly enlarged, bulging, and twisted, with a diameter over 3mm. Swelling around the ankles may begin.
The veins become visibly enlarged, bulging, and twisted, with a diameter over 3mm. Swelling around the ankles may begin.
- Symptoms: Leg pain, heaviness, numbness, night cramps, mild swelling, visible bluish-purple veins on the skin
- Risk: This is the best time to treat the condition effectively. Without prompt intervention, it can progress rapidly and become difficult to control – potentially leading to phlebitis or blood clots (venous thrombosis)
🔹 Stage C4: Blood Stasis – Skin Damage
Veins become significantly enlarged, like chopsticks. Blood begins to pool excessively.
Veins become significantly enlarged, like chopsticks. Blood begins to pool excessively.
- Symptoms: Darkened skin, pigmentation, hardened or leathery skin, skin dimples when pressed
- Risk: Prolonged blood pooling causes fluid leakage under the skin → leading to inflammation and patchy skin necrosis
🔹 Stage C5–C6: Ulceration – Tissue Necrosis – Risk of Stroke
- Symptoms: Skin ulcers, persistent dark patches, tissue death, vascular blockage, blood clots forming in the veins
- Risk: Very high – includes vein rupture, pulmonary embolism, stroke, or limb amputation if left untreated
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:

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
The veins begin to dilate slightly, with a diameter of less than 3mm. Common areas affected include the inner ankle, calf, and inner thigh.
🔹 Stage 4 venous insufficiency:
Darkening of the skin in the lower leg accompanied by edema. Note the indentation after pressing a finger on the dorsal side of the right foot, which is an indication of leg edema. Although this patient's lower legs do not have varicose veins, Doppler ultrasound of the blood vessels shows reflux in both superficial and deep veins in both legs, more pronounced in the right leg.

7 levels of varicose veins include:
🔹 Stage 1 venous insufficiency:
Dilated spider veins below the inner ankle. The dilated veins are less than 1 mm in diameter.

🔹 Stage 3 venous insufficiency:
Edema in the feet and ankles. Edema can be caused by various factors such as heart failure, kidney failure, cirrhosis, malnutrition, etc. Venous edema often appears after prolonged standing, is usually not noticeable in the early morning, and is more pronounced in the afternoon, usually only affecting the legs and not other areas of the body.

Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan Shares how to treat varicose veins at home without medication or invasive procedures
To answer the question of a patient with grade 4 varicose veins: "What is the method the doctor mentioned, why can we use it at home and treat the disease? Is this method approved?"
Dr. Jaime A. Galvez Tan: I will present it below:

- Known as "Southern Ginseng" it promotes natural healing.
Lotus Leaf Extract
- Combats fluid retention, easing swelling and heaviness.
- Prevents venous stagnation, a key factor in varicose vein complications.
- Contains antioxidants that protect veins from oxidative stress.
"Most people with varicose veins are prone to other health problems. Swelling and numbness in the legs make it difficult to move, reducing overall health; blood cannot circulate, causing a weakening of the cardiovascular system, circulation, and metabolism.
Especially for the elderly, people who work standing or sitting for long periods of time, women with hormonal changes, pregnant women should put pressure on the one-way valve system of the venous system, the patient's body does not provide enough energy, nutrition, reducing the function of the venous system leading to varicose veins. Therefore, regular supplementation of nutrients to support health, reduce excess fat, and prevent infection is necessary. Key nutrients such as maltodextrin, FOS, Isomalt, zinc gluconate, selenium, calcium gluconate and vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B9, B12, C and E have been proven to be effective in improving cardiovascular health, the one-way valve system of the venous system.
Currently, the only way to comprehensively supplement these essential nutrients is to use the Nutritional therapy VeinCare+, a product that has been verified and recommended by the Department of Health (DOH). VeinCare+ not only restores and protects the venous system but also provides long-term support for cardiovascular health"

Maria Cruz (45, Sales Clerk, Quezon City)
Carlos developed severe vein pain after years of sitting in traffic. VeinCare+ not only eased his pain but also prevented his condition from worsening into dangerous clots.
Elena Santos (60, Retired Nurse, Laguna)
Elena’s varicose veins caused unbearable swelling and skin discoloration. With VeinCare+, she avoided surgery, recovered her mobility, and enjoyed a pain-free retirement.
Rosa Martinez (55, Market Vendor, Davao City)
Rosa spent her days selling goods at the bustling market, often on her feet for 12 hours. Over time, her legs became swollen and discolored, with visible, twisting veins that caused unbearable pain. The heaviness in her legs left her unable to carry heavy loads, threatening her livelihood. Doctors warned her about the risk of vein rupture and chronic ulcers if she didn’t act quickly. Desperate for a solution, Rosa started using VeinCare+. Within weeks, she noticed a dramatic improvement: reduced swelling, lighter legs, and restored mobility. Today, Rosa continues her work without fear of complications, thanks to VeinCare+.
