How quickly will I be treated for bleeding from Varicose Veins?

How quickly should I be treated? Once you've been treated for the initial bleeding episode, so you've attended hospital straight away and the bleeding stopped, we'll then look to treat the vascular veins as soon as reasonably possible. Ideally, this should be done within less than two weeks. But just to reiterate, as soon as you see bleeding, you need to be treated straight away for that and then once that's stopped we can then go on to treat the associated varicose veins hopefully within less than two weeks.
