Hello,
There is no special treatment in such case besides compression socks and surgery. So, I would recommend wearing compression socks and trying to avoid prolonged standing or sitting position with hanging feet. Diuretics (furasemide, torasemide) can help too.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
