Weight Management
for Varicose Veins
Losing excess body weight to reduce hydrostatic pressure in the lower limb venous system, which exacerbates varicose vein symptoms and progression.
How it works
Obesity increases intra-abdominal pressure, impeding venous return from the lower limbs. It also increases blood volume and vascular load, worsening venous insufficiency.
What to watch for
Weight loss alone does not reverse established varicosities but reduces symptom burden and slows progression. Best combined with compression and exercise.
