Vein Care Centre

Varicose vein surgery

Since surgery for your varicose veins as been arranged please read the following carefully:
Your surgeon may suggest that if you are taking the oral contraceptive pill, it should be stopped one month before the operation. This is to reduce the risk of thrombosis. However, it is very important that you think about other contraceptive methods. Alternatively, he may give you an injection to thin the blood before the operation. You may be called for a pre-admission visit about one week before your actual date to make sure you are fit for the operation. The operation is usually performed as a day-case. However, if you are having both legs operated upon, or if you have any medical problems, it is usual to remain in hospital overnight.
