Veins: Varicose veins are from venous insufficiency (vi). Vi is a vein or veins not working like it should. The vein allows backwards blood flow, which increases pressure and the vein dilates so you can see it. Simplest treatment is compression stockings of 20 - 30 mm compression. Best treatment is to find insufficient veins and treat with ablation / surgery / sclerotherapy.

Seek a vein doctor: Usually, the the source of the problem can be diagnosed with ultrasound. Develop a treatment plan with a specialist. Expect multiple visits but minimal discomfort.

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.
