Bleeding Veins

Spontaneous bleeding is an unpleasant and often unexpected occurrence for those who suffer from varicose veins. Bleeding can occur with or without an injury because the veins are so close to the surface and the skin is sometimes thin and easily broken. The veins most at risk of rupture are those around the ankle and feet, and this is most likely to occur after a shower.

Once the veins with high venous pressure are identified, Dr. Gardner will recommend a personalized treatment plan to address the problem veins. He may recommend several different treatment options, including endovenous laser ablation, microphlebectomy, and sclerotherapy. Bleeding should not recur in a vein that has been properly treated with modern treatment methods.
