I have gone through your question and I understand your concern well. Yeah you are thinking correct it may be definitely varicose veins. But there is nothing to worry much. Currently I am working with intervention radiologist, they treat varicose vein by small interventions like laser ablation and endovascular embolectomy. Which are least invasive and giving very good results. So as per your age and problem I would suggest you to consult a intervention radiologist they will get your doppler scan done and manage you accordingly. For the time being you should follow these things: Exercise. Get moving. Walking is a great way to encourage blood circulation in your legs. Your doctor can recommend an appropriate activity level for you. Watch your weight and your diet. Shedding excess pounds takes unnecessary pressure off your veins. What you eat can help, too. Follow a low-salt diet to prevent swelling caused from water retention. Watch what you wear. Avoid high heels. Low-heeled shoes work calf muscles more, which is better for your veins. Don t wear tight clothes around your waist, legs or groin because these garments can reduce blood flow. Elevate your legs. To improve the circulation in your legs, take several short breaks daily to elevate your legs above the level of your heart. For example, lie down with your legs resting on three or four pillows. Avoid long periods of sitting or standing. Make a point of changing your position frequently to encourage blood flow. Don t sit with your legs crossed. Some doctors believe this position can increase circulation problems. Hope my answer helps you out. Feel free to write us back for further follow up or Amy other query. Regards Dr Sajal singh
