Is there any medicine available in the market to cure the varicose vein disease?

Magic: No magic pill or cream to get rid of varicose veins. There are vascular surgery procedures to help control the spread of varicose veins.

Not strictly.: Most varicose veins are caused by increased pressure in the leg veins. Unlike arterial blood pressure, this pressure cannot be adjusted with medications, and is directly related to the weight of the blood. Prolonged standing or sitting without activity can make it worse. Valve problems with the number (too few) or function (don't work) of the leg veins are usually the cause.

No. : Only a vein specialist can treat your veins durably. Compression stockings slow progression. In office treatments are now available. Phlebology .Org or miamibeachvein.Com to learn more.

None that works.: Varicose veins are due to leaking valves in the saphenous vein system. There is a strong hereditary component. There are many potential home remedies such as horse chestnut, witch hazel and certain kinds of berries but none of these work. If you have varicose veins, then you should see a vein specialist for a f/u venous evaluation including a venous ultrasound.
