Do I have poor blood circulation?

O tym odcinku

If you’ve got heavy legs, nighttime cramps, varicose veins or swelling in the legs, you may have blood flow issues. When you consider that our bodies contain an incredible 60,000 miles worth of blood vessels, it’s really not uncommon. Something like a varicose vein is usually relatively harmless. Other conditions include hemorrhoids, and phlebitis, which is a blood clot in a deep vein. Worse still are varicose ulcers, which are a complication of varicose veins or phlebitis. It’s important to know the cause behind any blood circulation issues and get treatment to avoid complications. How does the circulatory system work?
