It is not uncommon for people to have second opinion when finding the right doctor to treat varicose veins. Sometimes there is a certain percentage of improvement in cosmetic appearance and improvement in discomfort and other similar symptoms that are associated with varicose veins. It may be best to seek another opinion from a different doctor. There may be deeper veins that are causing the most symptoms and unfortunately those cannot be treated, due to the fact that those veins are important for your circulator system.
Inevitably, new veins will occur. How rapidly that occurs depends on your genetics, your activity, your weight. Some patients may desire to come in for a touch up every 1 to 2 years. Compression Stockings also help with slowing down the rate of new veins forming. Plus, with regular use of stockings, they assist with reducing leg swelling, reduce symptoms of varicose veins, improve circulation, and prevent pooling of blood in your legs. This does not mean that you have to wear the thigh-high stockings, even the athletic or business knee high stockings will work.
