Talk:Varicose veins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are we sure it is not advocatory that we include a link to leech therapy on this page? Vivacissamamente 14:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I ripped it out. I'm also worried about the barefoot mania. External links are still unregulated, and WP:NPOV does not seem to apply to them/ JFW | T@lk 17:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't believe the condition is specific to the leg, at least not according to my GP. I'm not sure enough to make the edit myself but I do think it would be worth researching. 62.69.54.251 21:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] medical treatment

since when is ibprofen or other anti-inflamatory medication considered non-medical treatment?

Please could the title be changed from 'medical treatment' to 'treatment' as vein stripping is surgical!!! Cheers 81.129.221.26 18:10, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Males and Females

In the introduction, it states that varicose veins affect men and women equally, but the Causes section states that women are more likely to suffer from them than men. I have no idea which statement is true. If anyone does, please fix whichever statement is wrong. Thanks. cnodell123 14:29, 28 November 2006
