Treatments for varicose veins include the
following:
(1) Elevating the legs can give some
relief.
(2) Exercising on a regular basis can be beneficial.
(3)
Special socks or stockings can improve circulation, swelling and some relief from
pain.
(4) Aspirin can also reduce anti-inflammatory problems.
(5)
Other medication (particularly flavanoids) can help.
(6) Various surgical
methods are also a possibility, including stripping.
Stripping deals with the removal (partial or complete) of the saphenous vein main trunk.
However, recurrence can occur in 5% to 60% of cases. CHIVA
(a French acronym) is a newer procedure that can be achieved under local
anasthesia.
