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.
