With varicose veins, it is recommended to raise the affected limb to promote blood return, or use elastic bandages and elastic socks. For less severe varicose veins, elastic socks can be used to reduce edema during exercise through external pressure, and it is best to use elastic socks that can penetrate into thighs. It is best to wear elastic socks before getting up in the morning and then take them off after going to bed at night. After a period of treatment, there will be obvious improvement. Get into the habit of wearing elastic socks to exercise your legs for an hour every day, such as walking, brisk walking and running. Lie down several times a day and raise your legs above your heart. This will promote venous circulation in the leg and maintain normal weight, because overweight will increase the burden of venous in the leg.

Wearing elastic socks or dressing elastic bandages at work is the best preventive measure. Generally, attention should be paid to avoid standing for a long time, and raising the affected limb to rest when sleeping and sitting can reduce congestion and pain. Physical therapy is to irradiate ulcer wounds with ultraviolet rays, He-Ne laser or low-dose X-rays to promote healing. Surgery can adopt surgical stripping therapy or minimally invasive surgery.
