Maybe: It sounds that you have mild venous reflux disease or mild venous insufficiency. It can often be managed conservatively w/ observation or compression stockings unless it is causing you alot of symptoms. Sometime it is closed to keep it from worsening or to improve its appearance. My recommendation for you is to get a 2nd opinion from a board-certified vascular surgeon who treats vein conditions.
