 Most doctors do not currently look for this condition and do not know that there is an effective treatment for this. There are some companies that sell "supports" for the vulval varicose veins - however such devices only provide some support and do not get to the root cause of the problem - pelvic vein reflux (or ovarian vein reflux).
Most surgeons who treat varicose veins either do not know about this condition or do not treat it. As such most either ignore it, or just "pull the veins out" of the top of the thigh - or even inject them. This gets rid of the veins in the short term, but as it does not get rid of the cause of the veins, they come back very soon afterwards.
 Here at The Whiteley Clinic we have been studying this problem since 1999 and have developed a process of recognising the problem, identifying the exact cause and then treating it effectively, using the latest non-invasive diagnostic techniques and minimally invasive treatments. It requires a team approach of Vascular Surgeon, Vascular Technologist and Interventional Radiologist.
The techniques that we use are well recognised and tried and tested - we have now brought an order and an approach to it that is proving very successful in our hands.
This web site explains the condition - why and how it occurs, and how we approach the condition to to treat it effectively.
This web site has been written by Mr Mark Whiteley MS FRCS(Gen), Consultant Vascular Surgeon. The information that has been included in this web site has been gathered from the experiences of the Doctors and Technologists over the last 5 years at The Whiteley Clinic (please see www.TheWhiteleyClinic.co.uk). Mr Whiteley and the members of The Whiteley Clinic are currently writing up research on this subject. As more information become available from their work, it will be included in this site.
