I've just had my left left stripped for the second time which has been diagnosed as Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. I've also had 2 separate rounds of injections hoping this will be the last for my left leg. However I've started with varicose veins on my right leg now and I'm hoping that I will be offered Laser treatment as they are very painful. I'm very fit and health this condition really does effect my job as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor I wear compression sock at grade 3 on both as well as compression pants this helps manage the condition a lot while I'm teaching various types of Fitness classes. Fingers crossed I can get the right sorted out as I've been in a lot of pain and discomfort for a couple of years now.
Hi I have been having surgery for over 30 years on and off , but they always seem to come back worse I have also had life threading bleeds from burst veins which have come to the surface on many occasions . I would say keep up with the treatment because it’s better to try at least hope yours don’t turn out like mine they have pretty much ruined my life ❤️
I just have done my varicose veins injected and wrapped up with bandage the doctor told me to keep the bandage on for 48 hrs After that doctor said you will be okey I'm hopping Everything will got better
Hi Dr... I have had and suffer with ugly Vein up legs 4a long time... It is so hard leaving d Dr. With no help 4something Soo hurtful 2My Heart..no insurance.. .. I can't wear dresses and no shorts in the summer...they hurt they tingle and they are ugly.. I'm ashamed of them. .its like I'm the only one who has this problem in the hole wide World...but I still have 2thank GOD at least I have legs and I can walk.. So many People can't..Please Help. ..😂
Fatty I am sorry to hear this. The evidence of increased recurrence rates after surgical stripping (neovascularisation) has been known for many years now. Nice Guidance was updated in 2013 - see www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg168/resources/guidance-varicose-veins-in-the-legs-pdf If your NHS treatment was performed after 2013, you should have expected a discussion about endothermal options. Unfortunately, NHS treatment for veins is not always optimal.
Thank you for the information . I have a VV behind my knee and runs a little down my leg. My mom had them too. I was looking for doctors in my area and the one is using Venefit™ using the CLOSURE RFS Stylet. Is this a procedure you would use? Would this do away with the ugly vein? I just need to know what is the best procedure. You want your legs to look better coming out then when you went in. What are some questions i need to ask the vein doctors? How to be sure i chose the right doctor to do the job? Thank you again.
Great question, thank you. If the vein is abnormal and affected by reflux, then closing the vein actually improves the circulation. We will make a video on this subject to answer your question in detail.
Thank u so much for videos!! Very informing!! I have had varicose veins for many years. I have a spot on the inside of my left leg... Its hard to the touch, very tender, red, swollen, itchy, and has heat. Its oval n shape approximately the size just larger than a golf ball. I have been elevating the leg at night when I sleep only to wake up and can hardly walk on that leg. I went to the ER today. The doc there did a blood test for infection said there was no infection. Told me to take an asprin & do warm compression. Do u have any suggestions?? Is there someone u would recommend in Little Rock or Hot Springs, AR I could have look at it?? Thank u for ur time!!
I go to the Dr for my first apt this coming week and my legs are currently burning and tight around my veins why is this happening should I be concerned
We are sorry to hear of your distress. We cannot give medical advice for specific problems. You should see your own Dr or request a referral to be assessed by a specialist. Good luck and we hope you are better soon.
I recently had 2 procedures done which wasn't bad. But, after a few days of the procedure the pain was horrible and I was unable to walk each time for several days. (Laser I didn't feel at all)
Thanks a lot for your video, Doc. It's very interesting. What is your opinion on wearing anti-varicose stockings constantly? Different doctors have different opinions. As for me, I take then on only when I fly abroad.
hi. i'm 32 year old. i start suffering for varicose vein.i also have a lot of little red spire vein all over my two legs. i went to a cardiovascular doctor to do a venous duplex in both of my lower extremity legs. He want to do a venoseal treatment. do you think this procedure helps to prevent the appearance of more varicose vein . Thanks so much for your help and time
Thank you for your question. Your duplex ultrasound scan will determine whether your veins are suitable for Venaseal® and your own specialist will be able to advise you of the expected outcome. In general, Venaseal® is an excellent treatment for Great Saphenous or Small Saphenous Vein Reflux and if your visible varicose veins and red veins are caused by reflux in the saphenous veins, you should expect a significant visual improvement.
im treatment both leg lazer elvt treatment ..3 months ago.. im wear stockings 2 month.10 days finish .how long does wear cmp stockings...best .daily walking.....
I just had Thermal Vein Ablation,after 2 days i removed the bandage as im instructed,when i removed ,my varicose vein still there.how long it will take the vein to die or vanished?
Sir, I am varicose veins in my leg leg from the groin area. Doctor told he will make incisions in groin and knee area and strip and ligate it. Is that process enhance speedy recovery and avoid further problems?
when we suffer from venous insufficiency, can heat exposure (warm waxing for example or sauna) make our legs look worse? or it's just another myth? is heredity and age the only factors to develop varicose veins and spider veins ?
What ever we do, nothing will cure it. It is a mulfunction with no remedies. When a varice occurs is becose damages to the flaps that push back the blood and the flaps are not able to help blood to go back to your heart. Various treatments can ease your pains and discomfort. Never to heal it.
I’ve had varicose veins since the age of 10 and my first operation I had was when I was 14. I’m now 44 and after having many treatments done I still am very concerned that I am a high risk to getting DVT? Please can you tell me any more information on wether there is evidence to show that dvt can be linked to varicose veins and am I at more of a risk because I’ve had problems most of my life?
1 have had both legs stripped twice. My right leg Scerotherapy five times @ right leg Four times. The last time was four weeks ago.There is staining @ hard veins still present @ tender. Why? do the veins repea tedly come back. You said that they do not after treatment. I would appreciatte some feed back. Kind regards. Joan Toovey.
ANYONE KNOW WHEN SORENESS IN UPPER THIGH DISAPPEARS AFTER ENDOVENUS LASER TREATNENT IN RIGHT LEG , SO FAR 6 DAYS AND SIDE UPPER IS STILL SORE AND CALF SWOLLEN SLIGHTLY
We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain after endovenous laser. Not all lasers are equivalent. Early in the development of this procedure, the laser wavelength used was 810nm and people often experienced pain in the treated vein in the thigh. 1470nm lasers cause less pain and radial firing laser fibres cause even less pain. Ask you doctor for information about the type of laser used and laser fibre used. Have you tried applying a non-steroidal analgesic cream or gel to your thigh (check with your pharmacist before using).
Had my great saphenous veins in both legs lasered 5 years ago. Unfortunately, I then developed reflux in my accessory saphenous vein on one leg and short saphenous vein on the other leg, which I have just had treated. Two lots of EVLA and sclerotherapy in between and I’m only 35. My veins are shit!
Wow, I've been searching for some of these answers for 3 years now. Internet is a blessing if we can ask the right questions.

M Abdulahi hi there I’m getting my treatment done on Tuesday and just wondering how everything went with you?
How come the uk gov say that varicose veins are cosmetic and therefore no treatment is available on the NHS ?
Thanks dear doctor. Should my both legs are surgery the same time?
There’s a lot of lies about everything in the fast food health care system.
Agree

I had my vein stripped on nhs.I wasn't given a choice of treatment.i didn't realise other options make it less likely to return

When a vein is sealed or destroyed, will it not affect blood circulation in the leg?
Great question, thank you. If the vein is abnormal and affected by reflux, then closing the vein actually improves the circulation. We will make a video on this subject to answer your question in detail.
What are the risk factors for verico veins surgery by laser

Graduated compression hosiery is usually put on first thing in the morning and taken off last thing at night.
Do oil massage suggestible for varicose veins or not sir
Thank you for your advice

im treatment both leg lazer elvt treatment ..3 months ago.. im wear stockings 2 month.10 days finish .how long does wear cmp stockings...best .daily walking.....
Hi there I was wondering if anyone had this treatment and did it work for you? I’m very nervous but it needs to be done
Yes indeed. I had my veins treated by endovenous laser. Here is my experience ruclips.net/video/vYOiE0nc_z0/видео.html
I just had Thermal Vein Ablation,after 2 days i removed the bandage as im instructed,when i removed ,my varicose vein still there.how long it will take the vein to die or vanished?
Doctor, is it true that standing for a long time of period etc if you work as a waiter will cause spider veins?? Or is it just another myth?
Sir, I am varicose veins in my leg leg from the groin area. Doctor told he will make incisions in groin and knee area and strip and ligate it. Is that process enhance speedy recovery and avoid further problems?
Does laser treatment make the veins less likely to reoccur.
Endothermal ablation (laser and radiofrequency ) is associated with lowest recurrence rate compared with other types of treatment.
Stephenie van der Mars.. mine keeps coming back
Does the varicose veins worsen if I undergo Rigorous training? Such as running? Another, do compression stockings help or not? Thankyou so much.
People who do a lot of training do tend to have prominent veins. This is normal. Compression stockings may help but the medical evidence is lacking.
when we suffer from venous insufficiency, can heat exposure (warm waxing for example or sauna) make our legs look worse? or it's just another myth? is heredity and age the only factors to develop varicose veins and spider veins ?
There is insufficient published information to give an answer to this interesting question.
The VeinCare Centre so you think that we just need to avoid that, or we should live as normally as possible, like everyone else ?
What ever we do, nothing will cure it. It is a mulfunction with no remedies. When a varice occurs is becose damages to the flaps that push back the blood and the flaps are not able to help blood to go back to your heart. Various treatments can ease your pains and discomfort. Never to heal it.

Hi sir i just want to know can i use my vibro shape after my operation from varicose 3days ago? Thanks
We hope you will understand that cannot give you post-procedure advice. Please consult your own healthcare professional.

Sounds as if you have a strong genetic pre-disposition.
I didn't got my reply
