Have you undergone vein treatment yet still experience varicose veins, leg swelling or discomfort?

The culprit could be iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). This occurs when an artery compresses a major pelvic vein, causing pressure that undermines prior treatments.
Unfortunately, these deep veins are difficult to examine externally, leading to missed diagnoses.
