Hi there...
Your doctor might be right . It could be caused by poor blood circulation or she might be having a condition known as varicose veins.
Avoid prolonged standing/ sitting, which causes venous stasis and poor circulation. While sleeping, keep the foot end elevated on 1 or 2 pillows.
If she is overweight, she needs to lose weight gradually.
After consulting a doctor, she might need to use compression stockings on the legs.
Hope this information was helpful to you.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
