Medicinal measures and
Physical measures

Physical measures in patients suffering from varicose veins are usually less aimed at eliminating the protruding veins and more at alleviating the symptoms caused by varicose veins. Extensive massage sessions in the area of the legs have proven to be particularly effective. These can be carried out either by hand (manually) or with the help of so-called overpressure cuffs (apparatus).

Another physical method that can be used to remove varicose veins is the regular application of cold lower leg effusions. In addition, many of the affected patients describe the so-called water treading as particularly helpful. In addition, increased walking, walking or water gymnastics also serves to remove varicose veins or rather to alleviate their symptoms.

The reason for this is the fact that increased blood circulation and increased muscle activity in the legs can have a positive effect on the condition of the veins. Just 10 minutes a day, during which the muscles of the legs are extensively exercised, improves the performance of the veins and even effectively prevents varicose veins.Particularly in advanced stages, the consistent wearing of compression stockings can help to remove varicose veins or rather prevent them from increasing. Compression of the legs facilitates the work of the muscle pumps and venous valves.

An important effect of compression stockings is the suppression of the backflow of blood from the deep to the superficial venous system. Suitable compression stockings for removing varicose veins are offered in various strengths. The individual thickness and length required by each patient is measured in a medical specialist shop.

When using this method, however, care must be taken to ensure that the compression stockings are worn for no longer than 6 months. After this time the stocking is no longer able to build up enough pressure and must be replaced by a new one. In addition to physical treatment options, some patients swear by various drugs that are supposed to help remove varicose veins.

Such vein remedies are offered in the form of In addition, there are various tablets and capsules that are supposed to improve the condition of the veins and relieve the symptoms caused by varicose veins. In most cases, however, drug treatment can only be used as an accompanying therapy. The effectiveness of drugs against varicose veins without further measures is simply too low.

The most frequently used substances include Diuretics (popularly known as water tablets), are intended to flush the water out of the body and represent a rather short-term form of therapy for varicose veins. These drugs are supposed to help prevent edema (water retention in the tissue).

Of course, varicose veins can also be treated with homeopathic medication.

The regular wearing of compression stockings is, besides physical activity, the most important measure for accompanying treatment and for relapse prevention in varicose veins. The stockings are prescribed by a doctor. The prescription is redeemed in a medical supply store, where the legs are measured and, if necessary, stockings are made to measure.

Wearing the compression stockings supports the muscle pump of the leg. Every time the calf muscles are tensed (for example when walking), blood is pressed out of the legs towards the heart. In addition, wearing compression stockings reduces the leakage of fluid into the tissue.

It is important to wear the stockings according to the doctor’s instructions and that they are put on correctly. It is best to do this lying down and make sure that no constrictions or folds remain. Elderly people and those in need of help may need the support of relatives or a nursing service.
