Chapter1—
TheProbleminPerspective
Varicoseveinsarecommonindeed,probablythecommonestsurgicalcondition.Therearemanymisconceptionsaboutthem,whichthisbookwillhelptocorrect,
andyou,thepatient,canbeofgreathelptoyourdoctorinyourtreatment.

Ifyoutalktopatientssittinginageneralsurgicaloutpatientclinicyouwillfindthatthreeproblemshavebroughtthevastmajorityofthemthere—hernias,pilesand,
ofcourse,varicoseveins.Thesethreeconditionsshareanumberoffeatures:theyarecommon,embarrassing,anuisanceandthereisnothingyetknowntomedical
sciencethatwillpreventanyofthem.
Unfortunately,therefore,thereisnothingyoucandotostopyourselffromgettingvaricoseveins,buttherearecertainthingsyoushouldknowaboutyourvaricose
veins,alongwiththethingsyoucandotopreventthemfromgettingworseandhowtohelpyourdoctortomakethembetter.
ExactlywhatvaricoseveinsareshallbedescribedfullyinChapter2.Mostpeoplehaveafairlygoodideaofwhattheylooklike.Indeed,theyareprobablythe
commonestreasonforpeopletobeadmittedtothegeneralsurgicaldepartmentsofhospitalsthroughouttheWesterncivilizedworld.InBritain,forinstance,one
personinfivealreadyhasorislikelytodevelopvaricoseveinstosomedegree;andwomenaremorelikelytosufferfromthemthanmen.
Don'tgettheWrongIdea
Becausevaricoseveinsaresocommon,itisnotsurprisingthatmanymistaken,evenincorrect,ideashavedevelopedaboutthem.Peoplewithalmostthefirstsignof
veintroublesbecomeworriedthattheymaydeveloptherathernastycomplicationsthatseemtoleadonfromthisconditionthebrownishblackstainknownas
pigmentation;theopen,slowtohealwoundofulceration;thrombosisorclotting;andsoon.
Asfarasthesecomplicationsgo,youcanbereassured.Inthefirstplace,nothinghappensquickly.Asmallvaricoseveinonthelegdoesnotsuddenlygrowintoa
massofgrapelikestructuresfromankletogroin.Infact,thetimespanforcomplicationstoariseismeasuredinmanyyears.Similarly,ifyoudevelopalittlepatchof
eczemaorpigmentationontheleg,youshouldregarditasawarningthattreatmentforvaricoseveinsisnecessary,butthepatchisnotsuddenlygoingtoturnintoa
hugevaricoseulcer.
Ifyoudiscoverthatyouhavevaricoseveinsdeveloping,thenreporttheiroccurancetoyourdoctor.Itmaywellbethattheywillnotgetanybigger,butitisadvisable
tokeepthemunderobservationtheymayneverneedanytreatment.Whentheveinsaremoremarkedinanotherwisehealthyandactiveperson,thentheyshould
certainlybetreated

andthiswillpreventthoseunpleasantcomplicationsfromoccurring.Ifyouhaveoldandinfirmrelativeswithvaricoseveins,theirtreatmentwillprobablyconsistonlyof
supportstockingswhichwillhelptokeeptheveinsundercontrolandtokeepthelegscomfortable.
Itisimportanttorememberthatjustbecauseyouhavevaricoseveinsitdoesnotmeanthateveryacheandpainorothersymptominthelegstemsfromthem.See
yourdoctorsothatyourlegcanbecheckedcarefullyforotherproblemssuchassciaticaorarthritisbeforedecidingthattheproblemisvaricoseveins.Also,there
maybeotherblemishesonyourskinthatyoumightthinkarevaricoseveins,butarenotvaricoseveinsatall.Yourdoctorshouldsoonputyourmindatrestabout
these.SomeofthemorecommonmisconceptionsaredealtwithinChapter8.
Treatment
Whataboutremovalofvaricoseveinsforcosmeticreasons?Mostpeopleliketolooktheirbest,andwhilemanyspendmuchtimeandeffortontheirappearance
(especiallythosewhoseprofessionskeeptheminthepubliceye),thepresenceofveryobviousanddiscolouredveinsintheirlegsisarealembarrassment.Evenif
thereisnoachingordiscomfort,thereisnoreasonwhytheveinsshouldnotbedealtwithforcosmeticreasons,andindeed,thisisoneofthemostfrequentreasons
fortheirtreatment.However,youmaynotbeabletohavethistreatmentontheNationalHealthService(NHS),asmanypurchasingauthoritiesregardthetreatmentof
varicoseveinsaslowpriority.YouwillhavetodiscusswithyourowndoctoraboutwhichtreatmentsareavailablefromtheNHSasthesevaryfromregiontoregion.
Nevertheless,thetreatmentandaftercareofvaricoseveinsisthesamewhetheryouhavehadtreatmentforhealthorcosmeticreasons.So,allisnotlostjustbecause
youhavevaricoseveins;thereismuchyoucando.Belowaresomecommonsensetipsthatmayallowyoutohaveahealthy,activelifeinspiteofvaricoseveins.
HelpYourselftoHealthyLegs
Exercise
Exercisewillimprovetheflowofbloodinyourlegsandwillalsohelptopumpthebloodfromyourlegsbacktoyourlungs.Jogging,swim

mingandcyclingareallfirstclassactivities,butwalkingisevenbetteritisasuperbexercisethatcanbecarriedoutbyalmostanybodyatanyage.Leaveyourcarin
thegarage,forgetaboutthebus,avoidtheelevator...andwalk!
Don'tStandAround
Learntoputyourlegsupwhenyouaresittingquietlyathomeandtoraiseyourlegsinbedatnight.Theseeasyactionswillhelptheveinstoemptysomewhatandwill
preventorreduceanypuffinessinyourfeet.Fewpeopleweartightgartersnowadays,butifyoudo(andespeciallyifyouhavevaricoseveins)youshouldthrowthem
away.
WatchyourWeight
Asurgeon'sheartsinkswhenheseesanobesepatientwithvaricoseveins.Thesurgeonknowsthattreatmentbyinjectionisgoingtobedifficultandthattherisksof
surgerywillbeincreased.Youwillhelpthesurgeonandyourselfifyoutrytolosesomeweightandslimdownyouwillalsolookandfeelbetter!
Itmaybethatyourveinshavealreadyreachedthestageofdiscolorationandulceration.Yoursurgeoncanhelpagreatdealwiththeseproblemsbutafterwardsyou
willhavealifetime'sresponsibilityforthecareofyourlegs.Thismeanselasticsupport,keepingyourlegsraisedatnight,activeexercisesandweightwatching.The
morevigilantyouareaftertreatment,thelesseryourchancesofanotherrecurrenceofvaricoseveins.
Sooncethedoctorand/orthesurgeonhavedonetheirpart,itislargelyuptoyoutohelpyourselftogetbetterandtostayhealthyandfreeofvaricoseveins.Asyou
readthroughthisbookyouwillbetakingthefirststepstothatend.Happyreading!
