and Health
Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) is a condition that affects the veins in your body and can cause pain, swelling, and other issues with your legs. If you’re living with CVD, it’s important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor during your visit. Your doctor can provide you with a diagnosis and create a treatment plan to help you manage your symptoms.
Lifestyle and Diet Changes
Your doctor may start your treatment plan with lifestyle and diet changes, such as calorie reduction and increased physical activity, that can help improve your health. Eating foods high in fiber, such as fruit and vegetables, can help improve your circulation and reduce swelling in your legs. Maintaining a healthy weight by exercising regularly can also help with your CVD symptoms.
Medications
In addition to lifestyle and diet changes, your doctor may prescribe medications to help relieve your symptoms. Some medications, like diuretics, can help reduce swelling. Pain medications can also be prescribed. In some cases, your doctor may also prescribe compression stockings, which can help improve your circulation and reduce swelling.
Surgery
Surgery may be an option if your condition is severe or if your symptoms are not improving with lifestyle and dietary changes. Your surgeon may recommend a procedure such as vein stripping, ablation, or angioplasty to improve your circulation and reduce swelling.
Living with Chronic Venous Disease
Living with CVD can be difficult, but there are steps you can take to manage your symptoms. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet, and talking to your doctor about treatments can help you stay healthy. With the right care, you can live a full and active life even with chronic venous disease.
