Understanding the nuances between venous incompetence and chronic venous insufficiency can be confusing. Both conditions are related but they highlight different aspects of vein disorders.
For a long time, there was only one way to reduce varicose veins, a procedure known as stripping. Thankfully, there are much better options today that are non-invasive. The type of vein problem you have will determine the options that are available to you.
