Living With Varicose Veins
Varicose veins can typically be treated with
self-care. If medical procedures are necessary, they are generally very
effective, and treated veins eventually fade or disappear. But the treatments
don't prevent new varicose veins or other vein problems. It's possible for the
same varicose veins to reappear after treatment, but this is uncommon.
Ongoing Health Care Needs
Although it's not possible to completely prevent new
varicose veins from forming, following the steps in the "How Can Varicose Veins
Be Prevented?" section can help keep developing or worsening varicose veins
under control. Watch for skin ulcers or other complications that may develop,
and consult a doctor if this happens. |
