    I am enormously grateful to Mr Joseph for his care and skills in finding a solution to my complex varicose veins. Outpatient appointments were detailed and I felt that I had time to ask important questions. On the day of the operation Mr Joseph reassured me over some anxieties and kept me informed of what was happening during the procedure.(I opted for local anaesthetic). I could not have hoped for a better outcome and I can now move on with my athletics training with confidence.

FAQ

Damage to the valves in the veins causes build up of a ‘standing column of blood’ raising the pressure in the veins in the leg, causing the symptoms. Changes in the skin can occur in up to a third of the patients as a consequence of this, particularly around the ankles.

Varicose veins are visible dilated and tortuous veins. The condition affects the legs mostly and affects up to 20% of the population.Veins that are simply visible are not varicose veins. Dilated small blood vessels on the skin are called Spider veins or Telengiectasia

Telengectasia or dilatations of capillaries or small venules (smaller blood vessels of 300 or less microns in diameter) Reticular Veins - these are visible diatations of larger and deeper venules in the skin and can be related to presence of Varicsoe veins.

No single cause has been identified to cause it, although some factors can place an individual at higher risk of having the condition. Heredity, Age, Pregnancy and Obesity are some of these factors. The veins are organised into Deep veins (located inside muscles) and Superficial veins (veins underneath the skin). The return flow of blood to the heart is mostly against gravity and therefore requires one-way valves in the veins. Varicose veins occur when these valves become defective or the vein walls get thinner and dilated.
