Varicose Veins & DVT: Symptoms, Causes, Long-Term Risks & Effective Compression Management by Experts at Foot Care Jaipur

Varicose Veins and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) are two of the most commonly ignored vascular problems of the lower limbs. Many people mistake early symptoms for simple tiredness or “normal leg pain,” but these conditions can lead to serious complications if not identified and treated on time.

This article explains symptoms patients can easily relate to, reasons behind the condition, common short-term home remedies, and the long-term results of using scientific compression therapy, orthotic support, and exercises under the expert guidance of Dr. Rajiv Agrawal, Clinical Director (Prosthetics & Orthotics), Foot Care Jaipur (Artificial Limb Clinic Since 1998).

What Are Varicose Veins & DVT?

Varicose Veins

Twisted, enlarged, bulging veins—commonly seen on legs due to weakened vein valves and poor blood return.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

A dangerous condition where a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the leg. If untreated, the clot can travel to the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

Symptoms People Easily Relate To

Most patients experience:

  • Leg pain, heaviness, or fatigue at the end of the day

  • Prominent, bluish or greenish bulging veins

  • Swelling in legs and ankles

  • Burning, throbbing or muscle cramps

  • Tightness or stretching sensation in the calf

  • Numbness or tingling

  • Itching or skin discoloration

  • Restless legs at night

  • Skin hardening or dryness near ankles

  • Difficulty standing for long periods

Additional Symptoms of DVT

  • Sudden swelling in one leg

  • Persistent pain or tenderness

  • Increased warmth over the affected area

  • Redness or discoloration

These are warning signs that require immediate professional evaluation.

Common Reasons Behind Varicose Veins & DVT

These conditions are usually caused by:

  • Weak vein valves leading to poor blood flow

  • Prolonged standing or sitting (teachers, shopkeepers, IT workers, medical staff, Police, Surgeons etc)

  • Pregnancy-related hormonal and pressure changes

  • Obesity increasing pressure on leg veins

  • Genetics or family history

  • Lack of physical activity / sedentary lifestyle

  • Aging causing weak vein walls

  • Foot deformities affecting calf muscle pump efficiency

  • Post-surgical immobility (increases risk for DVT)

  • Long Diabetic History

Problems If Left Untreated

Ignoring varicose veins and DVT can lead to:

Varicose Vein-Related Complications

  • Chronic pain and swelling

  • Skin darkening (hyperpigmentation)

  • Eczema and skin infections

  • Hardening of tissues (lipodermatosclerosis)

  • Non-healing wounds

  • Venous ulcers near the ankle

  • Severe bleeding if veins burst

DVT-Related Complications

  • Pulmonary embolism (life-threatening)

  • Permanent vein damage

  • Post-thrombotic syndrome

  • Long-term swelling, pain, and disability

Early intervention prevents long-term disability and improves quality of life.

Home Remedies People Commonly Try (But Don’t Work Long-Term)

Many patients try the following for temporary comfort:

  • Hot oil massaging

  • Elevating the legs occasionally

  • Applying ointments or balms

  • Wearing local-market knee caps

  • Using hot/cold therapy

  • Avoiding long walks

  • Random lifestyle tips from the internet

These methods may reduce symptoms temporarily but do not correct the underlying venous insufficiency. The condition progresses silently until complications appear.

Most Effective Treatment: Compression Therapy + Orthotic Support + Exercises

Scientifically designed medical-grade compression stockings are one of the most proven, globally accepted solutions for varicose veins and DVT prevention.

1. Compression Stockings (With Proper Pressure Gradient for Varicose Veins & DVT)

When prescribed correctly, compression therapy:

  • Improves blood circulation

  • Reduces swelling and heaviness

  • Prevents clot formation

  • Supports vein walls

  • Reduces chances of ulcer formation

  • Relieves pain and fatigue

  • Helps in long-term venous health

Proper measurement, correct pressure class (Class I/II/III), and accurate fit are crucial—this is where expert evaluation is essential.

2. Orthotic Management

Orthotic devices like customized insoles:

  • Correct foot biomechanics

  • Improve calf muscle pump efficiency

  • Reduce venous backflow

  • Help prevent worsening of symptoms

  • Reduce strain on veins in prolonged standing professionals

3. Exercises

Specialized exercises improve:

  • Calf muscle strength

  • Blood circulation

  • Venous return

  • Overall leg function

Exercises form a key part of long-term management.
