10. Long-Term Outlook
Other than varicose veins being unsightly, they don’t usually cause any long-term problems and patients can lead normal lives. However, rupture of veins may occur in severe cases and may progress to causing clots if left unattended. Still, lifestyle change can stop the condition from progressing to severity.
Diet and lifestyle changes should be your first-line of varicose vein management before going for more aggressive forms of treatment. In instances where the varicose veins have already formed, take measures to prevent development of new varicose veins.
