Patient's question:
I have had varicose veins for a long time, but I don't know what to do. Can varicocele be treated with cold compress?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is still possible to apply cold compresses if you have varicose veins, but be mindful of compression duration and other factors. Avoid prolonged sitting habits as well, as poor local blood flow may contribute to varicose veins. Therefore, it is advisable to drink more water and urinate frequently. It is also necessary to assess whether improper habits are contributing to the condition. If the situation gradually improves through gentler measures, minimally invasive surgery may still be considered for treatment.
