While genetic factors cannot be changed, there are several methods to help prevent or delay bulging vein development. Regular physical activity promotes healthy circulation and strengthens the muscles that assist venous blood flow. Avoiding prolonged periods of sitting or standing reduces pressure buildup in leg veins. Maintaining a healthy weight prevents excess pressure on the venous system. Wearing compression stockings during long flights or extended periods of immobility helps maintain proper circulation. Elevating the legs when resting and avoiding tight clothing around the waist and legs also help prevent developing bulging veins.
