Hi,

Varicose veins in the young can be treated with other options apart from surgery. These include:

1. Endovenous Laser Therapy (ELT), which is a quick procedure and is minimally invasive laser treatment that requires no hospitalization.
2. Sclerotherapy, which uses a solution injected into the veins.
3. Applying pressure band and stockings to the legs at night.

However, the treatment would depend on the nature of illness. Kindly get. yourself clinically examined by consulting Vascular Surgeon for complete clinical evaluation and appropriate management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
