Hello, i was wondering.. why do so many people have increased problems after a evlt or any if these procedures? On the forums there is so many stories about peoples legs nerve damage.. or swelling or pain when sleeping that they never had before. Is this normal? Im a little worried about going through with it considering I dont have any discomfort. At least right now but i have reflux in both legs. Ive read nerve damage can take a year and if its not better then its permanent. Scary stuff. I can not be out of work a few days let alone weeks after surgery. I wear compression which works. I've read a lot of people experiencing extreme pain standing still for a couple seconds. So if your on your feet at work I'm not sure how that would work
My experience is that the majority of my patient having this procedure are very pleased with the results. Nerve injury and persistent pain are not a common complication. A potential bias is that forums may attract a unrepresentative group of dissatisfied patients. Your own doctor may be able to share the results of his operations with you.
If the sodium chloride solution is very strong, called HYPERTONIC SALINE, this solution IS a sclerosant. The term bacteriostatic sodium chloride usually refers to a concentration of sodium chloride that is close to that normally found in the blood stream, called NORMAL saline. This is not a sclerosant. You should ask the local doctor to explain what exactly is used. I would be interested to know... Thank you for an interesting question @UterineBlackmail
@@VeinCareAcademy he got very defensive when I asked him, but I have photos of what he used. It was literally 0.9% bacteriostatic sodium chloride. That’s what it said on the bottle.
@@VeinCareAcademy thank you so much. The hypertonic saline solution is usually for contact lenses. Isn’t there a risk injecting it? I am talking about possible infections etc. thanks
I have a bulging vein under my eye. It's not a spider vein, it's an actually vein. It's visible and it bothers me. Would sclerotherapy be indicated? I have consulted two different doctors and they have given me diametrically opinions. One said that he could inject polydocanol and the other one said that screlotherapy under the eye causes blindness.
Blindness is a very rare complication of sclerotherapy near the eye. Some experts perform sclerotherapy and some prefer vein extraction - phlebectomy. See @drronandpeggybush th-cam.com/video/HaOTsUGg6B4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RyHdC99UOOBBWBwq
In your experience do you prefer phelebectomy for larger veins. I see some places do not do phelebectomy but do scerlotherapy? I thought its not advisable for larger veins. I asked the place and they said thats not true. I worry about nerve damage from phelebectomy. But i also worry about clots from scerlotherapy
I am a vascular surgeon. In general, I perform phlebectomy for larger veins. Phlebologists have different backgrounds and training. Some phlebologist who have an interventional radiology backgroud and they might prefer sclerotherapy. Both methods of treatment are safe in experienced hands. Speak to your specialist for medical advice on your particular needs.
What are the testimonials on loose skin associated with hemorrhoids? [not to be confused with the aftermath of surgery where a tag may be left]. Half my hemorrhoid problem is when you go to use bath tissue, the hemorrhoid affected area is so loose than the other side that it’s like tugging meat.
I had this procedure done on both of my legs 5 weeks ago. My legs have red streaks on them and still very achy and sore. My doctor did not schedule a follow up appointment.
Hey! i have a vascular malformation in my right hand, and the doctors advised sclerotherapy as one option. If you dont mind could you tell me how much time it took for you to undergo the procedure? Any pain? Any complications? Is it worth it to undergo the procedure? @@mariyadavydovych6804
No. Corona Phlebectatica is a condition characterised by spider veins and blue veins below the boney prominences of the ankle and which extend in to the foot. There must be skin changes called stasis spots. If you have GSV reflux, it is very likely that you have C4 disease. CP is a predictor of progression to an ulcer C5. Please discuss this with your own doctor.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you understand that I cannot advise you about your specific medical condition. It is clear that you have several difficult factors to consider.
Discomfort, sometimes even pain, are part of the inflammatory healing process. If it persists, or if it is severe, seek advice from your healthcare professional
I am not aware of any reason why sclerotherapy cannot be applied to people who are being treated for glaucoma. Please check with your opthalmologist before receiving sclerotherapy.
I just found your video, my question is what is the best procedure I should have for Venous Insufficiency (CVI)? I'm looking for all the information I can find on what can be the best treatment for CVI.
Great stuff doctor, thank you!! I love learning about all the new things we’re doing in this amazing time in medicine.
Glad you enjoy it!

It helped with my pain
@VeinCare Academy - !!! Many thank, doctor... That's exactly what is needed to us !!! ❤🌹🍾
You're most welcome!
A local doctor uses bacteriostatic sodium chloride, but that isn’t a true sclerosing agent, right? It’s not comparable to Asclera, right?

I am sorry, I do not know enough about that to comment.

Contact your doctor and request one. It might have been an oversight
How about now?? Any improvement?
if some ppl develope allergic reaction to the injected solution, why dont the drs do allergy test prior to the prosedure???
Great question. There is no reliable allergy test which can predict a serious reaction.
I am very interested in getting hand sclerotherapy. I live in a very large urbain area yet there is no physician performing it.
Which country?
@@VeinCareAcademy Canada.
My colleague Dr Pittman can help vein911.com/ @vein911
Sir,
I have vascular malformation in my left hand does it safe to take this therapy
I cannot advise you on your specific condition. I hope you understand, you would need to discuss this with your doctor, sorry.
Hi, I have vascular malformations in my left hand also!! I thought no one on the Earth has this just me. I’m going to have sclerotherapy next month.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. Have you tried turning on the caption?
After scelerotheraphy,my lip swollen,

You should ask the HCP who treated you.
Hi. Is it recommended if I had viral myocarditis?
I am not aware of any contra-indication relating to myocarditis, but check with your cardiologist and your vein specialist
I have internal piles that Dr told to use sclerotherapy to piles there is any use by this.....?
Any side effects by this....???
Speak to your Dr please.
Are any spider veins in ankle or foot always considered Corona? Phelbectaia

Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you understand that I cannot advise you about your specific medical condition. It is clear that you have several difficult factors to consider.
Thank you for your information sir 🙏🙏 After 2 days of treatment I got some pain , may I know the reason please ..
Discomfort, sometimes even pain, are part of the inflammatory healing process. If it persists, or if it is severe, seek advice from your healthcare professional
Sometimes it’s part of you’re recovery, my specialist told me it was normal and told me to keep walking
How about now?? Any improvement on your pain ?
Wilp this make me go blind if i suffer from maculer degeneration,?
I am not aware of macular degeneratio being a contraindication. But ask you opthalmologist.
Thank you for a very informative video is it safe if one suffers from Glaucoma
I am not aware of any reason why sclerotherapy cannot be applied to people who are being treated for glaucoma. Please check with your opthalmologist before receiving sclerotherapy.
I just found your video, my question is what is the best procedure I should have for Venous Insufficiency (CVI)? I'm looking for all the information I can find on what can be the best treatment for CVI.
The best treatment is either endothermal ablation, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy or a combination of both

Sir can i ask ?
Why me after scelotheraphy i see some air bubbles at the injected part of my skin
All i/v injections contain bubbles
I had this done by my doctor and ended up with 4 leg ulcers which they had serious trouble healing! Never have this done!!!
So sorry to hear that. Have you asked your doctor why this happened? I am curious because this is such a rare complication.
Good 👍 morning sir excellent 👌 advice from lndia 🇮🇳
