A member asked:
I'm going to be taking a long airline flight after sclerotherapy, what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several precautions.: I recommend that patients, following sclerotherapy, do not fly or take long car trips for two weeks following treatment. However, if this is not possible, then i recommend staying well hydrated, do not drink alcohol, wear knee length compression hose during the trip, get up and walk every 2-3 hours, move feet up and down frequently and take an adult Aspirin the day before and day of the trip.
