Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

The venous insufficiency and the autoimmune issues are seemingly unrelated. However, I would insist you to upload the reports and I will try to correlate.

The cost of consultation depends on the package you have opted for. You need to get in touch with the customer service for this.

Specifically I want to know is it possible that leaking valves be severe enough to cause leg and scrotal swelling and pain.

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Leg swelling and pain can be a consequence of the leaking valves

Detailed Answer:
Leaking valves can definitely give rise to leg swelling and pain. But that would possibly be unrelated to scrotal swelling and pain.
