Brief Answer:
Sclerotherapy or venous stripping are the best options in my opinion

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. There are 2 simple and most effective approaches that I would like to mention to you in response to your query:

1. Sclerotherapy: It is a method in which a solution is injected into the effected veins, which causes it to close and thus resulting in the varicose veins to disappear within a few days time. Do not worry about the veins closing and not functioning afterwards, because there are numerous other veins that can supply those parts of the leg with blood and take over the function of the lost vein well enough

2. Another procedure (surgical) is called venous stripping. In this procedure we remove the entire effected vein, which solves the varicose presentation. Similarly in this case you need not worry about blood supply as other veins take over

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
