hello and thank you for asking HCM, varicose veins are common and usually aren t a sign of a serious problem. But in some cases, varicose veins can be a sign of a blockage in the deeper veins called deep vein thrombosis. If you have this problem, you may need treatment for it. I suggest you to visit your GP but until then here are some advices: - wear compression stockings pop out - prop up (elevate) your legs - avoid long periods of sitting or standing - get plenty of exercise If you need treatment or you are concerned about how the veins look, your GP will send you to a specialist who will define the proper therapy which can be: - sclerotherapy to close off the vein - laser treatment to destroy the vein - radiofrequency treatment to close off the vein - surgery to tie off or remove the vein I hope this answer was helpful to you.
