 A Look At Sclerotherapy Permanent Treatment
 If you are looking for the right treatment for varicose 
veins, you should consider phlebectomy.  This is a 
treatment option for this condition that is also referred to as 
micro-phlebectomy and ambulatory phlebectomy, and it is 
designed to  address the problem of removing varicose 
veins.  During the treatment,  a number of tiny incisions 
are  made into the skin through which the medical expert 
will remove the varicose veins. Since the incisions are 
usually too small,  stitches are not needed.

 During phlebectomy recovery, it is recommended to avoid 
soaking your treated legs in hot tubs or baths until you are 
done  using compression stockings.  You can have some 
minor bruising during the procedure, but this will disappear 
in about three to four weeks.  You can also experience 
some swelling around the treated area especially when you 
stand for too long.  In order to reduce discomfort and  
inflammation, your doctor  may recommend that you use  a 
non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen.

 So how long is ambulatory phlebectomy recovery time?  
After the procedure is done,  the treated leg is likely  to 
drain fluid for about 48 hours. Because of this, the dressing 
and even the compression stocking is going to feel slightly 
damp.  The symptoms or discomfort that is experienced 
after the procedure can vary from one person to another. A 
good  doctor will carefully monitor your progress  and 
provide a clear picture of what you should expect.

 Elevating the treated  leg is highly recommended. When it 
comes to walking, your doctor may advise you to walk for 
thirty minutes every day  for the first two weeks after the 
procedure.  You do not have to do the entire thirty minutes 
at once. Instead, you can do it in shorter increments 
throughout the day.
