A member asked:
Does taking oral bc (yasmin) affect results of sclerotherapy for spider veins, or can i do/treat both simultaneously?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol): If you've been on yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) for 3 or more months your risk of blood clots has gone down. In addition spider veins are just under the skin and don't cause the same problems with see with deep veins, so you should be fine.
