varicose veins

Posted by neverever (326 days ago)

I am looking for a surgeon to remove a very painful varicose vein. A skilled vascular sugeon is what I think I need, but I am unsure. Can anyone recommend someone or point me in the right direction?

Thank You,

Can't recommend a surgeon but this might help in understanding and correcting the problem ....

I know someone who had some treated by a doctor who is in Princes building I'll try and find out his name. It was the traditional surgical method under anaesthesia. however the non-surgical method if suitable is much better as can be done in an hour - you just go for a long walk afterwards and wear a stocking for a few weeks (which you'd have to do anyway). Not a great time of year for a stocking but if its painful then no choice.

I need the surgery. It is quite bad and compression hose and other treatments have not worked. I have seen a doctor before I moved to HK and I know that I need surgery. The problem is getting much worse in the last year with the walking conditions here. Any name or referral would be most appreciated.

For symptomatic treatment you could try a topical cream which will prevent the inflammation of the vein as follows:
