Question: how to reduce vericos vein on thighs
Brief Answer:
Varicose veins on thighs
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Varicose veins on the thighs could be due to prolonged standing or these maybe spider veins.
My suggestions are as follows:
- Avoid prolonged standing. If you are required to stand, then keep shaking your feet in between
- Regular exercise or yoga stretches
- Weight loss (if over-weight)
- If severe issue, then surgeon can help by performing duplex scan and finding the cause of varicose veins. If there are incompetent valves, then he may perform a minor surgery and remove the veins. Laser may also help in some mild to moderate cases.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
