Self-treatment of varicose veins, usually for mild or early varicose veins of the lower limbs, includes wearing medical compression stockings, lifestyle changes and proper exercise.
1. Wearing medical compression stockings: patients with mild varicose veins of the lower limbs can use medical venous compression stockings, which can help to reduce the degree of varicose veins and prevent the adverse effects caused by the long-term accumulation of venous blood in the lower limbs.
2. Lifestyle change: Avoid standing or sitting for a long time, emphasize on the combination of work and rest, reduce the intake of spicy and stimulating food, avoid consuming alcoholic beverages, which will aggravate the varicose veins.
3. Proper exercise: Strengthening leg muscle pumps through deep squatting or slow walking, swimming, etc., promotes full return of blood from tortuous dilated veins to the circulation and reduces venous pressure.
Prolonged varicose veins may develop into severe varicose veins. If you have any discomfort, please go to the regular hospital and consult the doctor in time.
