Question:

Whats the best way to reduce the risk of varicose ulcers?

I have varicose veins in my leg and I am concerned about developing a varicose ulcer. What can I do to reduce the risk of this happening and what can I do to reduce developing further varicose veins?


Answers:

There are three things you can do to reduce the risk of developing a varicose ulcer. Wear compression stockings, avoid trauma to your legs, but probably the best way is to have surgery to remove them.

Varicose veins are caused by a weakness in the valves between your deep venous system and your superficial venous system.

If you have an operation to strip your varicose veins, at the same time they will block the connection between your superficial and your deep venous system. This will prevent the development of further varicose veins.
