Hello,

I think you must cooperate with doctor on decision making, what will be feasible for both the doctor as well as you. I think you need to opt for sclerotherapy first.

You may feel confused with the two procedures, but if it happens because of medical intervention there is no need for any surgical invasion. But there are other concerns too like the success rate.

You need to keep the prognosis in mind. If your doc says Sclerotherapy will be with better prognosis, go for it. Otherwise the surgery is the last option there.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muzaffar Hussain Parray
