Exercise is best for it I do regular excercise and find very useful .

[claradenken]

The only video on this making sense fully. Many thanks!

[donattarnoczi]

Thanks this was extremely informative. Very well explained everything, thoroughly researched.

Interesting what you stated about using a 'foam roller' as I have seen other YouTubes on here recommend gentle massage with the thumbs in the direction up the legs but not down, as this over time helps the movement of blood cells back to the heart that are restricted due to the narrowing of spider veins.

im 20 years old, do plenty of exercise and swim, run, bike, climb, skate a lot. I'm eating healthy, have a perfect weight for my height and do yoga almost every day. Yet after a recent long hike a few veins on my right calf started bulging out and a few days after I've first noticed it there is some slight discomfort.... I did have muscle cramps at night from time to time, but I feel like the fact I have this problem in these cirmumstances is pretty crazy...

I have varicose veins. Doctor prescribed me to wear compression socks. I can do any exercises. Please help me 🙏

What about chronic veinous disease in feet? There are no videos on YT about this in regards to weight training. I'm a total beginner with weights. Can I do dumbbell squats and dumbbell deadifts (2 x 20 kg dumbbels for example) and other dumbbell leg exercises if I have chronic vein disease? Maybe with compression stockings? So when you mean no streinous weighlifting, you mean massive kgs 40kg+ right? I'm 50 and I wanna start lifting weights to lose my belly fat and get muscles. I wanna look good.

[HasaliKaushalya]

[dartanion]

[Starsofneon]

Are squats safe in your opinion ? I keep seeing mixed answers and I feel hopeless.

[sweetbluesprinkle]

dudee, i started develop veins popping thing on my left calf after i started running (5 month i started noticing)and doing calf raises twice a week, any tips?

[abhilashkrishnan]

Please suggest some exercises that could help varicose veins when the patient has an existing condition of hernia in lower abdomen?

Is raising legs against the wall even at 45 degrees instead of 90 degree, advisable for such patients? This is a commonly recommended pose for varicose veins by some doctors.

Again do standing toe or heel raising exercises bad and does a seated version help in a hernia patient?

My mother of age 70, body weight approximately 72 kg, has these conditions due to which she has been unable to exercise for a long time. This has led to development of fat around knee joints and hip area. The varicose veins have been neglected for some time as many consider it harmless. However, I am concerned with her bleeding of veins twice in last two years. What if she bleeds in her sleep? I am very stressed out. Though the doctors have given compression stockings and advised surgery, she wanted to take a chance with exercise and massages. I do the gentle leg massages at night carefully to not disturb the clots to avoid pulmonary embolism but I guess it's not enough.

Would appreciate your views and advice. Regards

What about walking home videos? Is it okay or getting worse the varicose veins? 😢

[MsCatalicious]

Would wearing compression leggings help when doing squats and deadlifts?

[afonsooliveiraalmeida]

I have varicose veins and compete in powerlifting. Should i be worried?? I don’t ever feel discomfort or pain when doing squats or deadlifts i just sometimes at home feel a bit of discomfort which goes away

[JoshuaOuellette-zv]

Would love a video about managing Vericose Veins when working from home. Im 23 and recently started losing alot of weight, now I have a large vericose vein running up my thigh on the right leg. I got a standing desk but dont see how that can help if standing for too long also causes them. Any opinions?

[somah]

These recommendations are related to the venous insufficiency as well, or just varicose weins?

[wonderwoman]

Hi, just found this page. I am a 63 yr old healthy female. I have had varicose veins for years now. Not bad, but i now have a superficial blod clot just below my left knee. Will riding a bicycle help it?
