The FDA approved a new varicose vein treatment that's basically an adhesive that seals affected veins. Read that it's a permanent solution, but what else do can one need to know about it and when will it be available? Is this the best varicose vein treatment on the market? And is it dangerous at all? The fact that it is an adhesive scares me a little...
Hello, I had laser ablation on my left leg of the great saphenous vein up high where it meets the deep vein. A 3 month post op showed reflux and I had pain. It was retreated with the radio frequency technique yesterday. Vein size was 6mm if Im remembering correctly. The right leg had the same vein treated with RF from the get go and closed I guess ok- it was 10mm. My question is: should I ask the doctor to count the second treatment on my left leg as a retreat and not charge me? Thank you.
I did not have varicose veins but have several spider veins and an ultrasound of my legs showed venous insufficiency. I did not have any other symptoms besides when I would get a cut or scrape on my leg they would seem to heal slower and scar. I had RF ablation on one leg on my GSV after having sclerotherapy and having more spider veins pop up after the sclero. Im now worried I could have caused more problems getting the RF ablation and wondering if I made a good decision to do it?
