Is there any way to treat varicose veins?

Once you have them, you cannot get rid of them but we do have some medications that can stimulate the skin to make it cover the varicose veins so that they will not be visible anymore. Varicose veins cannot be treated but can be covered up.

If there is an associated medical problem, the most important treatment will come from your doctor. There are several reasons for leg swelling. One of the most common is varicose veins, in which damage to valves in the large veins of the legs hinders the return of blood to the heart. Blood plasma, which is mostly water, pools in nearby tissue, causing swelling of the legs and feet. Excess dietary salt, sitting or standing for long periods, and hot weather can aggravate the swelling. Exercise such as walking or cycling helps. So does resting with your legs elevated. Water retention can also be caused by more serious problems, such as heart, liver, and kidney disorders. A medical checkup to rule those out would be wise. And good luck.
