One of the major factors for choosing any treatment for any medical condition is the cost involved in the process. If the medical condition is primarily not immediately life threatening, cost factor gains more importance in the patient’s decision making. One should note that success rate of the varicose vein treatment is remarkably high and hence quality of life of patient greatly improves post the treatment.
While as a medical institution we believe that cost should not be the major factor in medical decision making, we certainly acknowledge its importance and accept that it should not be ignored especially when there are multiple treatment options available.
