It is true that varicose veins occur more commonly in elderly women but it can occur in men also.
Treatment of varicose veins include conservative treatment and interventional treatment.Conservative treatment includes leg elevation while sleeping,wearing compression stockings and anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or aspirin.Interventional treatment includes sclerotherapy,laser ablation and surgery.
