Varicose Veins: You should see a vein specialist for an evaluation of your veins including a venous duplex ultrasound. The treatment of varicose veins depend on many factors including amount of veins, symptoms and presence of venous reflux. Sometimes veins are treated conservatively with exercise and support hose and sometimes vein closure may be necessary.
