Avatar n tn I am interested in laser removal of spider veins on my nose. Does anybody have any experience with this procedure? Does it work well or is it on par with other techniques which are terrible such as nose jobs, face lifts, breast implants, lipo suction?
Avatar n tn Note that when you have laser treatment it destroys the veins so the blood will go to other veins and the problem will most likely return.
Avatar m tn Varicose veins usually result from failures in valves in veins connecting the superficial veins to the deep system in your legs. This is a mechanical problem. No medicine can restore this function. Horse chestnut extracts have been studied and appear to decrease the swelling due to venous insufficiency but the appearance is unchanged.
Avatar f tn Surgery??? :O Why do they cause health problems?
Avatar f tn Sclerotherapy is another common treatment for both spider veins and varicose veins. In this procedure with the help of a needle a liquid chemical is injected into the vein. This causes swelling in vein and collapsing .This stops the flow of blood, and the vein turns into scar tissue. This procedure can be done without general anesthesia and does not lead to inference in the daily activities. Laser techniques can help in curing small varicose veins. Discuss these possibilities with your doctor.
1907180 tn?1329450777 I am not sure if I have varicose veins or not. I am around 50 lbs overweight and 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. My legs are aching really bad from the knees to my ankles. I do have some small prominent blue bulging veins near the surface, but they have been there for years and never hurt. Can a person have them so deep that you can't see it? I fell last week and have some very deep and large contusions on the front of my right leg. My calves seem to be slightly swollen, but my ankles are normal.
Avatar f tn Hmmm I have never heard of that and now I want to know why and what causes it. I wonder if that is related to adenomyosis. Let me ask around and see what I can find and yay!!! You don't have Endo that is great!
Avatar n tn Pain in the foot may be due to diabetes,nerve root compression,varicose veins etc.You should seek an expert opinion to find out the cause.Unless a physical examination is done it is difficult to comment upon.
Avatar f tn Is it beneficial to have laser surgery for lumpy twisted varicose veins ? . Is one doing harm by putting off surgery indefinitely? I wonder if it prevents risk of dvt or stasis ulcers ? Do the veins just grow back? How long does the surgery tend to last? How does one stay as healthy as possible. Personally I find compression hose hot ,cumbersome so rarely use them. I miss wearing shorts in public and I put up with some leg cramps now and then.
Avatar f tn I am 47 and have had varicose veins since my 20s! I had my first 'stripping' surgery when I was approx. 24. Over the years I've had sclerotherapy several times with varying degrees of success. Two years ago I underwent the new form of surgery with the laser to remove more of my large protruding veins. My question is, how many veins can be removed, destroyed before I don't have enough left? And why do they keep popping out?
1138687 tn?1548643978 Hi, I am wondering why there isn't a varicose veins forum!? Where else might I post my varicose veins concerns? I posted in the Deep Vein Thrombosis forum but noticed it is rarely used. I'm not certain but isn't DVT a result of varicose veins? And if varicose veins are more common, with DVT being a side affect, then Why not change that forum to Varicose Veins? Regardless shouldn't there be a forum for varicose veins?
Avatar m tn Hemorroids and varicose veins are related conditions. I suffered the latter. At their worst I had a sac of purple stagnant blood on each ankle, The skin was paper thin and on the verge of ulcerating. It was a horrible sight. It was quite by accident that I found a cure. At some point I added liquid trace minerals to my drinking water because I didn't want to be bothered with pills. I also added BioSil (a bioavailable for of silicon).
Avatar n tn If you already have varicose veins you may have some doubts about taking birth control pills. If your varicose veins are mild and are not a symptom of a more serious condition, your doctor may agree to prescribe a low-dose estrogen pill. In this case it's up to you to decide what your priorities are. You may feel that the advantages of taking the pill outweigh the risk of varicose veins. That said I doubt if taking the pill would stop the problem! Ask the doctor for his/her opinion.
Avatar n tn My mum has pretty bad thread veins and also varicose veins on her legs, I have some small patches of thread veins, and I think I shall get varicose veins when I'm older so I don't know if that has anything to do with it?? Does anyone have any ideas?! Thank you for reading and for any help I get!!
Avatar f tn A vascular surgeon specializes in the treatment of veins and their various disorders. For example, if someone has varicose veins that are severe enough to cause blood clots, a vascular surgeon will treat that condition - among many others. Can you tell us what condition you have that needs a vascular surgeon?
Avatar f tn I have small red birthmark since when i was born on my right leg, and at 7 years old my dr. Told me that it has varicose veins underneath it and since then my leg started to enlarge but my shoe size remained normal as the other foot.and I had done varicose injection treatment and a surgery but it didn't get treated. I have a problem in wearing shorts since I was 10. Can someone please help me! !
Avatar f tn Varicose veins are gnarled, enlarged veins. Any vein may become varicose, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs and feet. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body. Sometimes varicose veins lead to more-serious problems. Varicose veins may also signal a higher risk of other circulatory problems. Treatment may involve self-care measures or procedures by your doctor to close or remove veins.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with vulva varicose veins I cannot cope with this pain any longer and only 26 weeks gone anyone else going through this I am in tears nearly every day and have a five year old to look after and I'm alone
Avatar f tn I have a blood blister that I discovered at 16. It was small (about the head of a pin) when I first found it. I popped it, thinking it would drain and heal. Over the years, with each popping, it has grown to about the size of a pea. It's been here (on my middle inner thigh) for 7 years now. It's not painful, but if it's rubbed, it pops and it bleeds a lot, for 30 minutes at least.i have varicose veins, so I know my veins are not circulating well.
Avatar m tn I am having the same problem with new veins appearing. I am 25 years old and I have already had surgery for varicose veins in my leg and need to have a second surgery. My penis does not hurt like my leg does, but should I be concerned seeing as I have problems with vericose veins already?
Avatar m tn Varicose veins are in some cases unavoidable. Many times, there are ways to naturally prevent and soothe them. Get plenty of exercise to get your blood circulating, Elevate your legs on pillows daily for 10 minutes or more, Avoid excess weight gain, Dry-brush your legs daily to improve circulation. (This can prevent varicose veins from forming.) Use a natural-bristle brush with a long handle that allows you to reach all parts of your body.
