Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins, that most commonly appear on legs and feet. Aging, pregnancy, obesity, and standing for long periods are some of the major causes of the disfigured, twisted, and discolored veins.
When varicose veins begin to develop, exercise, weight loss, elevating your legs while sitting and wearing compression hosiery such as stockings can help in increasing blood flow and reducing the progression of varicose veins. But, if left unattended, some cases may need an invasive treatment or surgery.
To avoid surgery, you can try some other medicated, non-invasive varicose veins treatments that are spread across a few sessions. These medical treatments are prescribed based on the severity of varicose veins.
These medical, non-surgical methods that treat varicose veins should be carried out by a certified and trained professional. Some of them involve the use of medication in certain dosages. The affected veins can be treated permanently but they cannot stop new veins from occurring later.
Apart from these, some doctors may also recommend the continuous use of compression hosiery like stockings to guard venous disorders such as edema, phlebitis, and thrombosis. They are typically tight at the ankles and are less constrictive towards thighs and knees.
All these procedures are medically approved and time-tested. Each of them is recommended based on the severity of the varicose veins. Only the most severe cases require surgery, while the majority can be effectively treated with oral, non-invasive, or non-surgical procedures.
