Is it absolutely necessary to have a procedure to improve varicose veins?

My calves swell often these days. , My blood vessels look faint, so I am wondering if I need to get a procedure.

I looked it up and found that if varicose veins are detected early, they can be managed with lifestyle changes or compression stockings. , I saw some reviews saying they even got the procedure done.

So whether I absolutely have to choose the procedure , I would like to know at what stage you decided to get the procedure.

Is there anyone who initially managed it only with exercise or compression stockings but eventually ended up getting a procedure? ?

also , I am curious if there are people whose symptoms have improved just by managing their calves.
