Newer options: Depending on the location, options for varicose vein treatment include minimally invasive and office type procedures such as laser or radiotherapy, as opposed to traditional stripping. Smaller veins can be treated with scleral basis which involves injection of the sclerosing material. I would see a vascular surgeon who deals with veins for a consultation.

See vein specialist.: You should have a full venous evaluation with a venous reflux examination to look for the source of the varicose veins. This ultrasound will determine treatment which could be laser or radio frequency closure, sclerotherapy, ultrasonic directed sclerotherapy or removal via tiny incisions (microphlebectomy) or any combination of the above. See a vein specialist.

Varicose veins: I would recommend evaluation by venous Doppler-ultrasound to determine the underlying problem, based on that the treatment protocol can be established to help you with this problem
