What should I do to prevent varicose veins from coming back?

Answered by
Dr. Brian T. Chin

To help prevent varicose veins from returning after treatment, patients are advised to continue wearing compression stockings, stay physically active, avoid long periods of standing or sitting, and elevate the legs when resting. These habits support healthy circulation and reduce ongoing pressure in the veins.

After undergoing treatment for varicose veins, there are several steps you can take to minimize the possibility of them returning.

It is generally recommended to continue wearing compression stockings, walk or exercise regularly, avoid prolonged periods of standing, and elevate your legs when sitting.

These measures help support healthy circulation and reduce pressure in the veins.

Still Relying on Compression Stockings?

For many patients, compression therapy can help manage symptoms but it may not address the underlying vein condition. Our board-certified vascular surgeons offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether minimally invasive treatment is appropriate for you.
