Varicose veins often appear as swollen, twisted veins, primarily in the legs. Symptoms may include aching, heaviness, or discomfort. They usually occur due to increased pressure in the veins, often linked to prolonged standing, genetics, or hormonal changes. Thankfully, there are effective solutions. Wearing compression stockings can alleviate discomfort, while maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly can prevent progression. In more severe cases, medical treatments such as sclerotherapy or laser therapy may be recommended. I encourage you to consult a physician for personalized advice and management options to ensure optimal care.
