Effective Compression and Pain Relief for Varicose Veins?Varicose Veins
9 months ago
I have varicose veins in my arms, and even noticed some varicose veins on my breast. Can you suggest the best stockings or elastic stockings for varicose veins? Also, which varicose veins pain relief options or pain relief creams are most effective?

As a doctor, I would like to tell you that varicose veins in the arms and breast are less common. But require proper treatment and management.
For compression, most stockings are designed for the legs, so custom-fitted elastic sleeves or garments specifically made for the arms or chest area are better. You can find specialized compression sleeves with 5–20 mmHg or 20–30 mmHg pressure that help improve circulation and reduce swelling.
For pain relief, you can use some painkillers, and topical creams containing horse chestnut extract can provide temporary relief. However, for long-term management, you will have to consult a urologist, who will guide you on the best tailored approach.
