Hello! Jobs that have to sit for a long time or stand for a long time in one position can cause varicose veins in the lower extremities. Depending on the stage of the disease, the doctor can choose effective treatment methods for varicose veins in the lower extremities, including: Medical treatment, sclerotherapy, surgery, using high-frequency waves or lasers. You should see a cardiologist, do Doppler ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities to have a definitive diagnosis and stage the disease for appropriate treatment.
