To manage symptoms, prevent worsening of the condition, and improve overall blood circulation.

Maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on veins.
Elevate your legs above heart level when resting, for example, by lying down with your legs on cushions.
Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking or running, to improve blood circulation.
Apply moisturising creams or lotions to alleviate dry, flaky, or itchy skin.
Avoid prolonged periods of standing or sitting without raising your feet.

Medicinal Treatment

To alleviate symptoms, reduce swelling, and support vein health through non-invasive or minimally invasive methods.

Wear compression stockings to apply gentle pressure, helping blood flow back to the heart and reducing swelling.
Use over-the-counter pain relievers (e.g., NSAIDs) to manage discomfort and inflammation.
Apply topical creams or ointments to soothe skin irritation, dryness, or itching associated with varicose veins.
Consider phlebotonic medications (e.g., diosmin, hesperidin) that may improve vein tone and reduce inflammation, as prescribed by a specialist.

Surgical Treatment

To permanently remove or close off problematic veins, restoring proper blood flow and improving both symptoms and cosmetic appearance.

Endothermal Ablation (Radiofrequency or Laser): A thin catheter is inserted into the vein, and heat energy (radiofrequency or laser) is used to close off the affected vein.
Foam Sclerotherapy: A chemical foam is injected into the vein, causing it to scar and close, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
Ligation and Stripping: A traditional surgical procedure where the problematic vein is tied off (ligated) and then physically removed (stripped) through small incisions.
Microphlebectomy: Small incisions are made to remove small sections of varicose veins, often performed in conjunction with other procedures.
