Can leech therapy worsen varicose veins?

Yes, leech therapy can potentially worsen varicose veins and lead to severe complications. While some believe that leech therapy can temporarily improve the appearance of varicose veins by drawing out blood, it does nothing to address the underlying cause—venous insufficiency.

This condition occurs when the valves in the veins are damaged, causing blood to pool and leading to varicose veins. Leech therapy may temporarily reduce blood congestion, but it does not repair the damaged valves or improve venous function. Moreover, the risks of infection, prolonged bleeding, and allergic reactions associated with leech therapy can exacerbate the condition, potentially leading to skin ulcers, scarring, and further vein damage.

Instead of leech therapy, VenaSeal is highly recommended as it directly targets the root cause of varicose veins. VenaSeal seals the faulty vein with a medical adhesive, providing immediate relief and preventing further complications, making it the best treatment option.
