This week on Bodytalk, Jules chatted to Mr Taleb Jeddy, one of the consultant general and vascular surgeons at Spire Hartswood Hospital. Taleb works across various general surgery areas and has a special interest in vascular surgery and the treatment of varicose veins. We talked about the causes of varicose veins; busted a few myths about them (not crossing your legs DOESN’T help and they DON’T automatically lead to DVT!); and discussed the various types of treatment available.

If any listeners are interested in treatment for varicose veins you can make an appointment by calling Shirley Batour, Treatment Enquiry Adviser at Spire Hartswood Hospital on 01277 266761.
