Yes, weight loss can help with varicose veins. Excess weight puts additional pressure on the veins in the legs, which can exacerbate symptoms such as swelling, pain, and heaviness. By losing weight, you reduce this pressure, which can improve circulation and alleviate discomfort.

Maintaining a healthy weight also helps prevent the progression of varicose veins and may reduce the risk of developing new ones. Weight loss can be achieved through a balanced diet and regular exercise, both of which promote overall vascular health. While weight loss alone may not eliminate existing varicose veins, it can significantly enhance the effectiveness of other treatments and contribute to a better overall quality of life.

It’s advisable to combine weight management with other symptom-relieving measures, such as wearing compression stockings and elevating the legs, for optimal results.
