There are many things that could cause an irregular vein in the legs of a woman.
One of the main sources of vein irregularities is a lot of weight being gained in a short amount of time.
This extra weight places pressure on the veins, which in turn start to swell.
If a woman notices that an irregularity in her veins has taken place, there are a couple of different treatments that she can choose from.
An example of a treatment method for problematic veins is vein sclerotherapy.
In order to understand how vein sclerotherapy works, it is important to understand how pressure on the veins causes vein swelling.
This pressure hinders the blood from being able to successfully pass through it.
So, the walls of the vein swell (thus making them stand out from the leg).
Vein sclerotherapy involves injecting the veins with medicine that will cause the swell to go down, thus allowing the vein to collapse back into the leg.
Vein sclerotherapy works best on spider veins or minimal varicose veins.
It is important to note that it will take more than one treatment session for the veins to disappear.
Each treatment session usually begins with the dermatologist applying a topical anesthetic cream to the vein being treated.
Next, the injections are gently given.
After each treatment session some swelling and bruising might be apparent.
If an allergic reaction occurs, it is important that the patient tell the doctor so that the medication can be change for future treatments.
