I'm 23 and have varicose veins but no symptoms at all can I just wear compression stockings forever to avoid surgery or do I need to do something else
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While compression stockings can help manage varicose vein symptoms like pain and swelling, they won't eliminate the veins themselves. If you have no symptoms, wearing compression stockings may be a good preventative measure but not a complete solution. Ultimately, your decision to wear stockings long-term or pursue other treatments should be made in consultation with a doctor, considering your individual case and preferences.

My left leg has mild pain and varicose veins when I walk or jog for an hour. The doctor said there's no valve damage yet and recommended Daflon tablets and stockings, but I'm worried about it turning into DVT later. Can I get laser surgery now to prevent complications or should I stick to the current treatment plan?
Given the mild symptoms and lack of valve damage, sticking to the doctor's recommended treatment plan of Daflon tablets and stockings is likely the best approach initially. While varicose veins can increase the risk of DVT, they also often progress slowly
