Which procedure is the most effective with least side effects?

Luminous343978
Im 6ft 1 159 pounds. I was told i need evlt and phelebectomy. Im wondering with the different procedures out there which one is most effective long term. Least side effects. I hear laser is most painful. Rfa can not be effective if you have lg gsv to seal it all the way. Opens up again. Then venaseal... Not sure about that. I have extreme anxiety about these the constant ultrasounds an then constant procedures. Vascular surgeon said sometimes 25 treatments are necessary. Evlt is just beginning.
