What are the risks and complications associated with leech therapy for varicose veins?

Leech therapy comes with significant risks, especially when used for varicose veins. Common complications include infections caused by bacteria introduced by the leeches, which can lead to severe health issues requiring antibiotics or hospitalization. Excessive bleeding is another risk, as leech saliva contains anticoagulants that can prevent blood clotting.

Allergic reactions to the leech's saliva are also possible, which can cause swelling, itching, or even anaphylaxis. Beyond these immediate risks, leech therapy can exacerbate varicose veins by causing skin ulcers or scars, and it does not address the underlying problem of venous insufficiency.

In contrast, VenaSeal offers a much safer and more effective treatment option. VenaSeal works by sealing the faulty vein using a medical adhesive, eliminating the need for incisions or heat, and reducing the risk of complications. For a safer and proven alternative, VenaSeal is the recommended choice for treating varicose veins.
