i had "sclerotherapy" on some of my varicose veins ten years ago.
so far they have not returned.
varicose veins are veins on the outside of the muscle sheaths.
we also have veins inside these sheaths. these are the veins that do the
main work and they seem to be protected more -or completely- from
becoming variscosities.
varicose veins often run in families. i have noticed the SAME vein in my
brother and i causing a problem. they look the same. my cousin too.
this is primarily a genetic or constitutional issue.
removing these veins should not cause a recurance.
eating a natural diet lower in saturated fats, exercise, not standing or
sitting more
than neccesary, having easy bowel movements: these will help lessen the
load on any potential varicose
veins in the future.
spider veins, broken capilaries, easy bruising, are probably not highly
related
to varicose veins. these are mainly a diet and nutrition issue.
bottomline: your friend has a good chance with some care of not having
a return of her problems.

Just for my own information. Is surgical stripping or laser sealing of
varicose veins a permanent "cure"?
I was speaking to a friend who had this surgery done a year ago, and
she got angry at me because I told her I believed the underlying
problems that allows the varicosities to happen in the first place is
still there, and unless addressed other veins in her feet/legs will
varicose eventually. I mean she was obviously terribly insulted by my
opinion. She is an extremely active person, walking miles daily, a lot
of it up and down steepish hills, this isn't new, she has always been
active and walked like that, even while and before she developed
terrible varicose veins. She now says the walking is protecting her
from getting any more, but that doesn't seem likely, if she was also
walking as and before she got them in the first place?
In the interest of fairness, I thought I'd ask just in case I'm wrong
and she is right and she is "cured".
TIA,
