What kind of doctor treats varicose veins?

A vascular surgeon is a doctor who treats varicose veins. Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that can be painful and unsightly. They are caused by weakened vein walls and valves that allow blood to pool in the veins. Vascular surgeons specialize in treating conditions of the blood vessels, including varicose veins. They can perform a variety of treatments for varicose veins, including surgery, laser therapy, and sclerotherapy.
