how do you deal with varicose veins?

Question

gal of mine is having this problem ,first it was just faint purple line now it seems to swell. but no pain lah

Answer 1

varicose veins are unsightly, but if they are not causing pain, I very much doubt a surgeon will do anything about them. A doctor will recommend being fitted for compression stockings. It is important not to wear anything constricting on the legs, like knee high stockings or socks. If the varicosities become painful, a surgeon can do several procedures to remove the vein or "lyse" it.

Answer 2

Many people deal with varicose or "spider" veins the same way: They hide them. When those reddish or blue bulges appear on legs and thighs, there's a temptation to buy a wardrobe full of long skirts and pants and pretend this isn't happening.

But guess what? Many of the people you're hiding your legs from also have varicose veins. No fewer than 10 percent of men and 20 percent of women have varicose veins or the less prominent, weblike spider veins that show up on the thigh. That means more than 20 million Americans in all are involved in this cover-up.

Sometimes varicose and spider veins can be quite painful, but it's reassuring to know they usually are not serious and don't lead to other problems in the legs or circulatory system. You can't change the veins, but you can ease the pain. Here's what the experts recommend.
