FAQs
Are varicose veins only a cosmetic concern?
No. They can also cause symptoms such as heaviness, swelling and itching. A vascular assessment can establish what is happening.
How is the treatment chosen?
The specialist examines your leg and the veins involved before recommending a plan. The same treatment isn't suitable for every varicose vein.
Can compression stockings help?
They may be recommended to help with symptoms, but they don't remove an existing varicose vein. The specialist explains whether they should be part of your plan.
Should I wait until a large vein is visible?
No. Heaviness, swelling, itching or skin changes can also be assessed. The examination helps establish whether these concerns are related to the veins.
