Varicose veins are one of the most common vascular conditions and can present in many forms with varying degrees of severity. Up to 25% of the population will suffer from Varicose Veins in their lifetime with women being affected more than men. Varicose veins can present in all age groups, however tend to be more common as we get older. Varicose veins can be idiopathic (no cause found), however can also be linked to certain occupations that involve standing for prolonged periods of time, family history, pregnancy and certain genetic conditions.

The symptoms of Varicose Veins can include:

stages chronic venous disease

The CEAP classification was created in 1994 to standardise the diverse manifestations of chronic venous disease.

Given the wide range of symptoms it is important to note that one treatment does not fit all.

At Yarra Vascular Surgeons you will receive a comprehensive evaluation which includes an on site vein ultrasound scan that is performed by a specialist vascular ultrasound sonographer. This scan particularly focuses on leaky veins which is the most common cause of varicose veins.

After a thorough assessment of your condition and investigations, our vascular surgeons will advise you on the optimal treatment option for your varicose veins.

In some cases, the varicose veins can be treated with minor procedures, whilst in others more invasive surgical treatment is required in order to prevent further complications.

Our surgeons are highly skilled in performing cosmetic procedures for spider veins and both minimally invasive varicose vein treatments (endovenous radiofrequency ablation and sclerotherapy) and open varicose veins surgery.
