Although mainly women suffer from varicose veins, this condition affects both genders throughout the world. This condition is not only a cosmetic issue, veins such as these are a nuisance as they tend to itch and scratching them can cause ulcers. These veins also make it painful to walk, or simply stand. Doctors who treat these types of conditions are called Phlebologists, and can help to determine which type of treatment is best for a patient. There are invasive and non-invasive procedures, as well as traditional and alternative methods.
Alternative treatments include Sclerotherapy Maple Grove, sealing veins, radiofrequency, and laser treatments. The most traditional and invasive procedure is vein stripping, however, concerns have been raised due to possible allergic reactions, infection, deep vein thrombosis, and other serious complications such as bleeding.
