Will being on birth control affect Sclerotherapy treatments?

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’ve heard that birth control pills can have an effect on the vein walls, softening them and causing problems. Is this true? Could being on the pill then create problems with sclerotherapy?

There is not strong data suggesting that BCP’s effect the results of sclerotherapy. The major concerns would be a possible increased incidence of DVT and increased blushing or matting, but no data to date has shown this.
