5 Simple Tips to Prevent Your Varicose Veins From Getting Worse
Varicose veins are not always harmless. They can cause discomfort, pain, and poor circulation. Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to prevent your varicose veins from worsening.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are abnormal, enlarged, and twisted veins that most commonly appear in the legs. If left untreated, they can lead to more serious problems.
Symptoms of varicose veins can include skin discolouration, rashes, sores on the legs, and sensations such as heaviness, burning, or aching in the affected area.
If you’re concerned about your appearance or health due to varicose veins, book a consultation with a Dermapure vein specialist to explore treatment options such as sclerotherapy and echosclerotherapy.

During a consultation, our specialists will assess your condition and recommend the best course of treatment. In the meantime, here are some tips to prevent varicose veins from worsening:
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main causes of varicose veins?
Varicose veins are caused by increased blood pressure in the veins, which weakens the vein walls and damages the valves. Sitting or standing for long periods can increase this pressure.
Will varicose veins go away on their own?
Varicose veins will not heal on their own. Delaying treatment may worsen your condition and lead to more serious health issues.
What causes varicose veins to flare up?
Common causes of flare-ups include obesity, pregnancy, and standing for extended periods. A sedentary lifestyle can also contribute, as weak muscles offer poor blood-pumping action.
