Unsightly veins? We have the answer

Varicose and spider veins are very common. While they are different entities to each other with different causes, neither should be expected to resolve spontaneously and can affect adults of all ages. This leaves those who suffer from them distressed and in need of help.

The NHS only approves treatment for varicose veins in a few exceptional situations and does not offer treatment for spider veins at all. This leaves large numbers of people in need of help. This help is now at hand with a comprehensive new vascular service at The Wye Clinic in Hereford. Leading this service is Mr Bajwa, an experienced consultant vascular surgeon who offers the most up-to-date assessment and treatments for all vascular problems, including varicose and spider veins.

The vital first stage in any assessment is an in-depth consultation. Understanding how someone is affected by troublesome veins, along with their hopes and expectations, is key. Though spider veins and varicose veins have different causes, they can co-exist. Having an expert such Mr Bajwa assess how the problem has occurred and discuss the possible treatment options is essential to achieving the best outcomes. Investigations such as ultrasound scanning are often needed to provide the detailed information needed to plan the best way forward.

Troublesome veins such as varicose and spider veins can bleed, become painful and are usually unsightly. They can also cause skin changes and ulcers. Any of these problems on its own is a reason for treatment though they may develop together.

Treatment for varicose and spider veins has many forms. These treatments can be used either individually or in conjunction with each-other in a management plan that is individualised for every patient. Mr Bajwa is an expert and offers all the most modern and safe treatments available. Whether it be state-of-the-art foam treatments, radiofrequency ablation, or phlebectomy they are all available at The Wye Clinic. With local anaesthetic, recovery is quicker meaning you are back up and running in no time.
