A number of things: I would see a vein specialist/phlebologist. A venous ultrasound of your leg veins should be done to find the cause of your varicose veins and make a treatment recommendation. A treatment option that helps symptoms but doesn't make the veins go away is compression stockings. Other more definitive options include laser or radiofrequency ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, and/or sclerotherapy.

See your doctor: See a vascular surgeon, interventionalist, or a specialist in phlebology. There are multiple ways to treat varicose veins that are low risk and highly effective. The best treatment plan is individualized!

Many options: A venous ultrasound of your leg veins should be done to find the cause of your varicose veins and make a treatment recommendation. Treatments to get rid of the veins include laser or radiofrequency ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, and/or sclerotherapy. Which treatment is done depends on the results of the ultrasound and the preference of the doctor.
