So, follow-up care after conservative management really is to see once treatment is initiated, to see how the treatment is working for the patient. So we usually like to give around three months of time to allow either compression therapy or diet and exercise to see how it affects the overall symptoms that the patient is experiencing. In terms of follow-up for a surgical option, well, the initial period after having an endovenous therapy is a period where for the first 24 hours patients would wear or patients would have a wrap and then this would be followed by wearing compression stockings for a further 10 days and then patients can be followed up in clinic for a few months, two, three months after the initial treatment to see how their symptoms are doing.
