Brief Answer:
Avoid prolonged standing...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You can prevent worsening by avoiding prolonged standing. Varicose veins predominantly occurs in individuals occupied with prolonged standing due to effects of gravity. If you can avoid standing for long hours, you can delay or even prevent progress of varicose veins.

Besides these, there are compression stockings available. You can order for the right fit through your local doctor's advice. Wearing these compression stockings prevents as well as treats symptoms of varicose veins if any.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
