Common Cures for Varicose Veins

There are several common cures for varicose veins. There are several surgical methods with good success rates, but the surgeries can be somewhat traumatic for patients and leave very visible scars. Non-surgical methods are generally preferred. These all have very good success rates, but aren’t necessarily as long term of solutions as surgeries. The patient could also self treat with supportive stockings and leg elevation. When considering the long term, there may not be a complete cure. Most treatments will relieve symptoms and are considered permanent, but there are no guarantees that the varicose veins won’t return.

The two common surgical methods for curing varicose veins are CHIVA and stripping. Saphenous stripping involves removing the entire trunk of the affected vein, from ankle to hip. This surgery is generally successful, but is considered one of the more painful procedures. However, it is considered to be a permanent solution and recurrence in the same area is very rare.
