Show me your leg, haha. I had varicose vein surgery.

The blood vessels in my left calf have started to protrude unusually compared to those in my right calf.

Then, at some point, I started experiencing pain in my leg.

I suspected it might be varicose veins because I seem to get swelling after waking up.

I think we can't neglect it any longer, so I visited the thoracic surgery clinic in the neighborhood.

I just found out this time that varicose veins are a subject for thoracic surgery.

During the initial visit, they closely examined the blood vessel reflux through ultrasound and determined that surgery was necessary.

I was worried because the surgery cost was more expensive than I expected, but luckily I had purchased insurance, so I received full reimbursement after the surgery.

Currently, only a scar from the surgical site remains, and I am recovering well without significant inconvenience in daily life.

If you visit the hospital early, medication treatment may be possible, so if you notice any suspicious symptoms, please make sure to get a check-up.
