A member asked:
Is it advisable to have 4 endovenous ablations within a month, 2 in each leg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Veins carry blood: back from the leg. In theory if all of them are gone, the blood backs up. Mostly, endovenous ablations are on SMALL SURFACE ALREADY BROKEN veins that aren't going to matter anyway....so...not much of a problem Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular situation .....
