1 in  7 women with varicose veins in their legs actually have varicose veins from the pelvis causing them. Even more shocking is the fact that this rises to 1 in 5 women with varicose veins if they have had children (see our research the prove this http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19470861) . Why is this important? The reason is that if the pelvic varicose veins are not treated as part of the leg varicose vein treatment, the varicose veins from the pelvis cause the leg varicose veins to come back again!

Varicose veins from the pelvis - The Whiteley Clinic is a world leading clinic in treating pelvic varicose veins  

Unfortunately, most varicose vein clinics and doctors do not look for these veins nor treat them. This is one of the major reasons that women get varicose veins back again after treatment under such doctors and clinics (see our research on this http://www.jvsvenous.org/article/S2213-333X(14)00093-6/abstract).
