It is always best to attack the cause rather than work on the symptoms. Varicose veins are a symptom of major problems. When one strips veins it removes a bit of the circulation back to the heart putting a larger load on the remaining veins...hence an exacerbation of the problem...not a cure. She needs to ask the question...why do I have this problem. Overweight perhaps?

Is surgical stripping or laser sealing of varicose veins a permanent "cure"? I was speaking to a friend who had this surgery done a year ago, and she got angry at me because I told her I believed the underlying problems that allows the varicosities to happen in the first place is still there, and unless addressed other veins in her feet/legs will varicose eventually. I mean she was obviously terribly insulted by my opinion. She is an extremely active person, walking miles daily, a lot of it up and down steepish hills, this isn't new, she has always been active and walked like that, even while and before she developed terrible varicose veins. She now says the walking is protecting her from getting any more, but that doesn't seem likely, if she was also walking as and before she got them in the first place? In the interest of fairness, I thought I'd ask just in case I'm wrong and she is right and she is "cured". TIA, sol > > > -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
