A vain on your knee has burst should you see a doctor?

It depends on the severity of the burst vein and the amount of blood loss. If the bleeding is heavy or does not stop after applying pressure, it is best to seek medical attention immediately. If the bleeding is minor and the vein does not appear to be seriously damaged, you can usually treat it at home by elevating the affected leg, applying a cold compress, and keeping it bandaged to prevent further bleeding. If the vein appears to be seriously damaged or if the bleeding does not stop after home treatment, it is important to see a doctor.
