Depending on the results of a screening examination, additional tests such as a diagnostic ultrasound may be recommended to identify the extent of vein damage and to look at blood flow in your legs. There are many options for treatment including sclerotherapy, vein ablation and surgery.

Treatment is customized based upon your individual needs and will depend on the extent of vein damage, your overall health and other risk factors.

Support stockings and other measures including leg elevation, exercise, skin care and cosmetics may be recommended.
