Mackenzie answered Thursday June 30 2005, 5:44 am: "Treatment is usually conservative. The patient will be asked to avoid excess standing, elevate the legs when resting or sleeping, and to wear elastic support hose.
Treatment may be requested to improve the appearance. Surgery such as vein stripping and ligation (removal of the varicose vein), or sclerotherapy of veins (injecting with a solution that causes scarring, which closes the vein) may be recommended. Vein stripping is a very extensive procedure, and it is usually reserved for patients who are experiencing a lot of pain or who have skin ulcers."

my mom had those in her legs and she got them removed by her doctor. they made a small incision and pulled them out. go to ur doctor and tell him/her that they hurt. they'll probably take them out.
