Varicose veins
What are varicose veins and how do you treat them
A lot of people have varicose veins. It is estimated that upto 30% of population may have varicose veins. This may look like thread veins (spider veins) or may be visible as large veins in the legs. You may want to see a specialist for cosmetic reasons or for medical reasons if you have symptoms such as aching in the legs especially at the end of the day, throbbing in the veins or serious problems such as skin changes around your ankle, leg ulcers, bleeding or thrombophlebitis. There are now many ways to treat these veins especially minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery allowing you to have the treatment and go home on the same day.
