To prevent varicose veins, stay active with regular exercise, take breaks from sitting or standing, and maintain a healthy weight. Wearing compression stockings, elevating your legs, and avoiding tight clothing can also improve circulation and reduce strain on your veins.

 Varicose veins can be treated with options like sclerotherapy (injecting a solution to collapse veins), laser therapy (using targeted light to seal veins), or endovenous laser treatment (heating veins to close them). More severe cases may require surgical stripping or radiofrequency ablation to remove or seal affected veins.

Exercise can’t make varicose veins disappear, but it can improve circulation, strengthen leg muscles, and reduce vein pressure, helping manage symptoms and prevent further issues. Advanced treatments may still be necessary for existing varicose veins.

While home remedies can’t cure varicose veins, they can help manage symptoms and prevent further issues. Elevating your legs, wearing compression stockings, and regular exercise can improve circulation and reduce swelling.

A family history of varicose veins increases the risk due to genetic factors that affect the strength and function of vein walls and valves. If close relatives have varicose veins, you may inherit weaker veins or a tendency for poor circulation, making you more prone to developing vein issues as you age.
