Great looking legs are assets that most women would like to keep. However, the appearance of Varicose Veins or Spider Veins can easily ruin these assets. Varicose Veins are characterized as blue or dark purple veins, or cordlike veins that look twisted or bulging on the feet and legs while Spider Veins are smaller veins that appear red or blue. There’s no need to worry though, there are available treatments that can help you rid of these unwanted blights.
The first approach that you can take against varicose veins is a change in lifestyle. Factors like aging, gaining extra weight, genetics or prolonged sitting or standing contribute to the development of these veins. This is also a condition that is commonly experienced by pregnant women. Exercising, losing weight, wearing loose clothing, and using compression stockings can help minimize its appearance. There are also topical medicines that may be applied as Antivaricose Therapy. If the first approach is not enough to treat your condition then you can consider other options that your doctor may recommend. The common treatments include sclerotherapy, laser surgery or therapy, vein stripping, catheter-assisted procedures, ambulatory phlebectomy, and endoscopic vein surgery.
Varicose problems may appear to be a cosmetic concern, but it can also cause pain and discomfort if not treated immediately. The wide range of treatments mentioned above is your ticket to saying goodbye to varicose veins.
