Varicose Vein Birmingham

Normal veins work by a structure made up of of valves that direct blood toward the heart. Varicose veins happen when a valve ceases to function properly, which causes blood to pool in the vein. These unpleasant veins form most often in the legs, are primarily inherited, and, although experienced by older men, often develop earlier in women, for instance, mid-pregnancy. Natural symptoms of varicose veinsapart from the prominence of the leg’s veins, are: pain, heaviness in the legs, swollen ankles with ulceration, and discolouration of the skin.

Foam sclerotherapy is an enhanced form of varicose vein treatment that has been extensively acknowledged for years as the most desired therapy. Originally, a liquid solution was introduced into the vein which solidified, thus blocking the vein from entry of blood. Foam is now used, instead of pure liquid, as the results are greater and are longer lasting. Most patients are able to drive and continue normal activity once the treatment is complete.
