| Treat Varicose and Spider Veins |
By:
Doctor ursel |

Spider veins and small varicosities frequently form on the legs. These can be easily and safely treated using painless injections of special solutions which shrink the blood vessels. Effective treatment usually requires several visits to the office with gradual improvement after each visit. On the initial visit, your vein problem will be assessed and an estimate regarding the time required and the approximate cost of your treatment will be given. After treatment is complete, reassessment and treatment may be required on a periodic basis to ensure that your vein problem never returns.Sometimes larger veins require more aggressive treatments. For medium sized veins, surgical treatment may be required. This can usually be done under local anesthetic using a procedure known as ambulatory phlebotomy. For the largest veins, a new, painless treatment known as Endovenous Laser Treatment or EVLT is used. Dr. Ursel was one of the first doctors trained in Canada to do this procedure and now teaches other doctors to do it.Dr. Ursel was one of the first doctors for treatment of spider veins.
These are Symptoms for varicose and spider veins
>> Aching, heavy legs (often worse at night and after exercise).
>> Appearance of spider veins (telangiectasia) in the affected leg.
>> Ankle swelling.
>> A brownish-blue shiny skin discoloration near the affected veins.
>> Redness, dryness, and itchiness of areas of skin - termed stasis dermatitis or venous
eczema (eczema), because of waste products building up in the leg.
>> Minor injuries to the area may bleed more than normal and/or take a long time to heal.
>> In some people the skin above the ankle may shrink (lipodermatosclerosis) because the
fat underneath the skin becomes hard.
>> Restless Legs Syndrome Restless Legs Syndrome appears to be a common overlapping
clinical syndrome in patients with varicose veins and other chronic venous insufficiency.
How to treat varicose and spider veins?
>> Frequent rest periods with the legs elevated.
>> In mild cases, lightweight elastic compression stockings should ease the discomfort but they will not remove the varicose veins.
>> A loss of weight, if obesity is a problem.
>> The injection of a sclerosing solution into the vein will close it.
>> If the condition becomes more serious and the whole leg is affected by varicose veins, a
complete removal of the vein from ankle to groin may be necessary (ligation and
stripping).
Several treatments may be required before a satisfactory resolution is achieved. Laser treatment can also be effective for these varicose and spider veins. The majority of people with varicose veins manage by using simple conservative treatment measures. Varicose veins are not a disease in themselves although they can cause daily irritation and worry. People with this problem should consult their GP to discuss whether treatment is necessary.
