Most people get their varicose veins treated because they don't like the way that the veins look. There's no shame in that; it's okay to want to wear shorts without having to be self-conscious about that striped blue look you're sporting. But some people have a more compelling reason to seek out treatment for their varicose veins; varicose veins can be really painful.
As noted in a recent advice column, here are some of the options that are available to you for reducing the pain of varicose veins:
- Exercise. Getting the blood moving may reduce the pain of varicose veins.
- Lose weight. If you're overweight, you're going to have more painful varicose veins.
- Wear compression stockings. Ask your doctor about getting the right kind.
- Get varicose vein treatment such as VNUS Closure Fast.
Most people don't want their legs to look unsightly but nobody wants them to hurt!
