Here are some ...: Venous dilation (venous insufficiency) is bound to happen to all aged persons here and there, especially in the legs. There has been no cure for it, but learning to cope with it is the key to slow down such undesirable process of life and minimize its ill effects by: Live on healthy lifestyle without overindulgence; wear compression stocks; exercise and elevate legs regularly; take surgery as last
