Depends: It depends on exactly what type of veins you have. You should start with a consultation with a phlebologist, interventional radiologist, or vascular surgeon who has a commitment to treating venous insufficiency. This will allow you to get a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

Need treatment: You need to see a vein specialist for an evaluation which includes a duplex ultrasound examination of your veins. Treatment could include sclerotherapy, endovenous thermal ablation, and/or phlebectomy. It depends on what is found during your evaluation but your doctor can discuss treatment options with you at the time..

Vein Specialist: I would recommend that you see a vein specialist. You need to have a duplex ultrasound looking for venous insufficiency. Depending on the results you would likely need to have ablation of your saphenous veins and sclerotherapy with possible ambulatory phlebectomy.

Close leaking valves: Varicose veins are a result of malfunctioning valves usually in the saphenous system. The first step in treatment would be to obtain a venous reflux ultrasound to make the diagnosis and help plan treatment which could be laser or radiofreqency closure of the valves usually with microphlebectomies and possible sclerotherapy or ultrasound directed sclerotherapy. You should see a vein specialist.
