At-home treatment myths
It may seem that as quickly as your varicose veins appeared, they can also disappear on their own. Unfortunately, this is not the case! Varicose veins will not go away without treatment, and it is in fact better to get your legs treated as soon as they become an issue as the longer you wait for treatment, the more complications can arise.
The predominant reason that people develop varicose veins is due to their family history. There are also lifestyle changes that you can make in order to lower your chances for developing the condition. Lifestyle changes include keeping active, not standing or sitting for prolonged periods of time, maintaining a healthy diet (click here for a link to a blog that examines foods you should avoid eating), and wearing compression stockings.
Are there topical creams that remove varicose veins?
There are many topical cream options out there that may seem like an affordable option to remove varicose veins but be aware that while these creams may provide immediate relief, they are not a permanent solution. Because of the origin of varicose veins even though they may appear to be on the surface of the skin, they are not, and therefore topical creams will not be sufficient to fix the root of the problem. After using a cream that promises to remove your veins for good you will find yourself continuing to struggle with this condition.
Does massaging work to remove varicose veins?
As with the topical creams, it is impossible for massaging to truly get to the root of the problem as varicose veins are underneath the skin’s surface. This at-home remedy for varicose veins may seem like a good option to remove some of the symptoms of the condition such as the pain and swelling of your legs but this will only provide a short-term relief solution. If you do suffer from these symptoms it is important to get a specialist to examine your legs in order to effectively treat your condition.
The best way to ensure you are getting rid of your varicose veins once and for all is to have a specialist examine your legs.
