Varicose Vein Treatment – 5 Mistakes that Usually Take Place

1. Varicose Vein Treatment – 5 Mistakes that Usually Take Place There are 5 main reasons why varicose vein treatment may not achieve success and lead to disillusionment and extreme unhappiness. 1. Incomplete or Inadequate Initial Assessment The initial assessment involves meticulous examination of the underlying vein problem with Duplex Ultrasound. Several doctors and surgeons who assess their patients either neglect to perform an Ultrasound, outsource their ultrasound to an external sonographer or radiology department who aren't specialized in vein treatments or basically don’t really know how to perform an adequate ultrasound themselves. If underlying veins aren't mapped out properly, then the treatment is doomed to failure. 2. Neglecting to treat feeder veins before treating spider veins This is the foremost common drawback Phlebologists encounter. It'll lead to the development of extraordinarily fine veins/capillaries that we refer to as “Matting” and will perpetually result in early recurrence. Patients usually comment that they have had sclerotherapy before and it didn’t work. This is often the main reason why.

2. 3. Lack of Sufficient Experience A Phlebologist who has undergone many years of training in the field of varicose vein disease and who always keeps up to date with advancements in treatment and technology will invariably have the necessary tools to tackle any problem that walks through the door. A Phlebologist should know how to diagnose and control all kinds of venous disease, from pregnancy related or pelvic Veins, Persistent Embryonic Veins, and venous Malformations. 4. The Incorrect Treatment It is unfortunate that most surgeons still prefer to select Vein “Stripping” ahead of the more effective, less invasive and safer alternatives like Radiofrequency Ablation, Venaseal Glue, endovenous laser, and Ultrasound guided Sclerotherapy. Our initial priority as Physicians and Surgeons is our patient’s long term health and safety. Invasive Surgery and Stripping is unacceptable in today’s day and age and is neither safe nor successful in the long term. 5. Deficient of Incomplete follow-up In my opinion, this is often one among the most vital mistakes made by some Vein Doctors. Irregardless of who treats veins or how they're treated, ALL treatments ought to be followed up to verify that the treatment was effective.
