Aftercare following the EVLA procedure is important to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. Patients are usually advised to wear compression stockings for one to two weeks to help reduce swelling, improve blood flow and support the treated veins. Light physical activity, such as walking, is encouraged to promote circulation but strenuous activities and prolonged standing or sitting should be avoided for a few days. Pain or discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s also important to attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress and rule out complications like blood clots or infections​.
