Experience of treating varicose veins with sclerosing solutions

We observed 186 patients (148 women and 38 men) with varicose veins of the lower extremities. There were 18 patients under 20 years of age, 83 patients between 20 and 30 years of age, 52 patients between 30 and 40 years of age, and 33 patients older. In 89 women varicose veins of the lower limbs had developed either during pregnancy or during the postpartum period; in 36 patients the disease could be related to heavy physical labour, in 42 patients - to prolonged standing on their feet, in 19 patients the causative factor could not be identified.
