Varicose veins can be treated without surgery.

Vein and Laser

Veins in your legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart, so it is helped along by tiny valves that stop the blood going backwards. These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as … View moreVeins in your legs work against gravity to return blood to the heart, so it is helped along by tiny valves that stop the blood going backwards. These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as fatigue, heaviness, itching or even cramps.

Historically, treatment of varicose centred on surgical removal of varicose veins under general anaesthetic. However, endovenous catheter ablation has become so successful that surgery is seldom needed. Endovenous means "working inside the vein" and ablation means "to close off". Under local anaesthetic, a laser fibre is threaded into the varicose vein and used to close off the problem veins, prompting the blood to redirect itself. Compression stockings are worn for two weeks post-treatment and regular walking is recommended.

There is no need for time off work. If you have varicose veins that are affecting you call Vein & Laser for a consultation with our doctor, vein physician Elisabeth De Felice.

There are now lots of different vids on hearing loss that you can use for your particular type of hearing. I can give you one or two links if they are helpful for anyone. Note: These will help with your hearing a lot but if you are still going to a ear clinic, keep going if you are needing to go, I'm not here to stop anyone from going to see a specialist. That's is what I'm not writing this post about. I'm just writing this post to see if anyone does listen to these hearing improvement sounds, will see if they have had improvement in their hearing, that's all. I hope that your hearing will help with these sounds.

To finish off, I would recommend, if you are listening with your laptop or computer, put your main volume down to about half the volume, than start the hearing sound. If you are using a Ipad, or smartphone or any other smart device, maybe just put your main volume down slightly more lower, put the hearing sound on then adjust your volume when needed.

Here are the links that I have from Youtube:

www.youtube.com...
www.youtube.com...

These are just two videos for all to use. If you want more, just on Youtube, they will have vid available for you to use. You just need to pick which one suits you for your hearing.
