How to Prevent Varicose Veins

To prevent varicose veins:

Avoid hot baths, Turkish baths and saunas

Lose excess weight and maintain a healthy weight (BMI should be below 30)

Don't let your legs swell while sitting. Move them frequently

Patients with a sedentary lifestyle and desk jobs should change their working conditions if possible

Therapeutic exercise is one of the main measures for preventing varicose veins in the legs

Choose comfortable shoes. The sole should not be completely flat; the heel should be 3–4 cm high and wide

Several times a day, rest with your legs stretched out and a pillow or cushion placed under them
