Vulvar & perineal varicose veins are common, yet neglected, type of varicose veins that follow pregnancies and effect one in four women. These type of varicose veins can cause leg varicose veins, as presented for the first time by Dr. Khalil Fattahi at the ACP conference in 2001. Since 2001, Dr. Fattahi's suggested foam sclerotherapy for this type of varicose vein has provided relief to many women suffering from them.
Foam sclerotherapy in this case has been a safe and effective method of treatment for vulvar and perineal varicose veins.

Individual Results May Vary
Spider veins are small, irregular, purplish or bluish unsightly vessels. Slightly larger and greenish veins, always feed spider veins. Achieving good results depends on treatment of spider and feeder veins.
Varicose veins always result from abnormal flow of blood in opposite the normal direction. In such cases, there is an incompetence of the one way barriers (valves) between the deep and superficial leg vein systems, leading to abnormal flow of blood from the larger deep veins into the superficial smaller veins and creation of bulging varicose veins that often have a zigzag pattern and cause a variety of symptoms.
