Why is leech therapy not approved by the FDA for varicose veins?

Leech therapy is not FDA-approved for treating varicose veins because it lacks scientific evidence to support its safety and effectiveness. The FDA requires treatments to undergo rigorous testing and clinical trials to ensure they are both safe and effective for the intended use. Leech therapy has not met these standards, especially for varicose veins.

The potential risks, including infections, excessive bleeding, and allergic reactions, far outweigh any purported benefits. Additionally, leech therapy does not address venous insufficiency, the underlying cause of varicose veins, which means it does not provide a long-term solution.

On the other hand, VenaSeal is an FDA-approved treatment that is safe, effective, and directly targets the diseased vein. VenaSeal offers a minimally invasive solution with fewer risks and a quicker recovery time, making it the best option for treating varicose veins.
