Is treatment of varicose veins safe in the long run?
mirzaaFeb 21, 2017
I am 28 years old male, I developed varicose veins. No one in my immediate family has this problem. I was told that prolonged standing and sitting can be the root of the problem. I am given two treatment options: EVLT and Sclerotherapy. Question I have is that, once the saphenous vein is closed off by EVLT, how does the blood pump back to the heart? Is it safe for the long run in terms of circulation? Thanks
