A member asked:
Had vein ablation on right leg 7 years ago. is it possible to have to have another ? causes? i have a new vein bulge on calf. new dr. ultrasound said yes. should i get second opinion ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Even after ablation, varicose veins do reappear. This is because varices are due to increased pressure in the veins of the legs. Ablation is not resolving the cause of the problem.
