The best way to strengthen vein valves is regular exercise, which targets the calf muscles of the leg. Weight control is also important and decreases the stress on the vein valves. Wearing compression stockings will also decrease the vein pressure in the lower leg, which makes the veins more prominent and visible. It may be a good idea to get an ultrasound of the
veins to see just how prone you are to vein disorders.

Hello there,
Thank you for reaching out to me. It's great that you are without symptoms. I suggest wearing compression stockings on a daily basis, if possible.

You can walk and wear compression stockings.
I recommend use of knee high compression stockings - either 15-20mmHg or 20-30mmHg gradient. Regular exercise is also beneficial.
Hello. If your veins are not symptomatic, there is no reason to worry or rush to interventional treatment. There is no way to reverse valve dysfunction (if thats what you have, an ultrasound is required to determine that), however there are things you can do to lessen chances of things worsening. This includes weight loss, exercise, wearing compression socks daily, and elevating your legs when seates.
Compression stockings, ambulation, elevation when practical, these are the traditional methods of slowing the progression of venous dilation leading to varicose veins. Dependent positioning of your legs, either standing or sitting for long periods lead to venous stagnation. Having your veins examined by ultrasound can give you information as to the status of your valves.
The first line for treatment of her problem is to begin wearing good medical grade knee-high support stockings. Being that you are 30, I make the assumption that she did not have any hardening of the arteries. If that is the case, then a compression level of 30-40 mmHg would be required. However, he should see a vascular surgeon who treats this problem and have a proper ultrasound to evaluate your valves in your veins.
Eat healthy, exercise, weight loss, compression stocking for leg discomfort or swelling
Exercise, weight loss and compression will help with slowing down the progression of varicose veins.
Often, the failure of the valves in the veins is hereditary. Most frequently, they are broken and do not repair themselves. Usually, an ultrasound is needed to diagnose the broken/malfunction of the valves and then the veins with the valvular dysfunction are closed sequentially.
Compression therapy (knee high stockings). Have a formal evaluation by a vascular surgeon to delineate the extent of venous insufficiency.
Varicose veins are due to "leaky" valves within our veins. Wearing compression hose, exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight can assist with preventing further vein disease, however, many times this is hereditary. An ultrasound called an insufficiency study can help to determine which veins are leaking.
Varicose veins are common. They occur as small reticular (spider) veins in most women, but occasionally larger veins are present. It sounds like you have either a refluxing saphenous vein, or an incompetent perforating vein. This causes lower leg veins to grow. If the valves are not working correctly, there is nothing specific to do, other than compression therapy, or surgery. Surgery may be injection sclerotherapy, vein resection, or vein ablation.
Compression includes wearing knee high, or thigh high stockings of 20-30mmHg (millimeters of mercury). This may be all that you need. Get measured and purchase hose online, or over the counter. Seeing a vein specialist may be a good idea.
