They are called varicose veins. It can also become a painful condition if ignored. Usually, varicose veins affect the feet and legs, but may also be seen in other parts of the body. It is seen more frequently in people who spend a lot of time of the day standing, or pregnant women or overweight people due to the increased pressure on the lower limbs.

This allows blood to flow backwards and they enlarge even more. Varicose veins are most common in the superficial veins of the legs i.e. those that that are close to the skin surface. Severe long-standing varicose veins can lead to leg swelling, venous eczema, skin thickening and ulceration. Non-surgical means can prove partly effective in initial stages of varicose. But surgical means may be necessary in higher stages. Hence, it is important to diagnose and treat them as soon as possible so that pain and discomfort can be avoided. Here are some basic guidelines you can follow at home to help attain relief to some extent: Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce pressure on the legs. Avoid standing or standing for long hours. Keep moving in between. Avoid crossing your legs while sitting. Wear elastic stockings meant for varicose veins throughout the day but remove them at night before sleeping. Keep your legs elevated to reduce swelling. At night you can elevate your legs using 2 pillows or a folded blanket while sleeping. Low to moderate intensity, regular exercise helps strengthen legs and reduce body weight.
