Leeches

It's articles like this one that make people go to the doctor and demand a leech therapy. There is a reason it's not being done anymore - the risks of infection from the leeches is just too great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.191.225.26 (talk) 09:28, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge

I have proposed a merge between these two articles because I believe them to be the same. LT90001 (talk) 07:15, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Management

Shouldn't dieting and other weight loss methods be mentioned as possible means of managing the condition when caused by obesity? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cutelyaware (talk • contribs) 06:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Opening doesn't fit with later information

This sentence: "The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux which is a treatable condition" gives the suggestion that there is a treatment for 'venous reflux' in the page. The way the page is written isn't clear. At least the term 'venous reflux' should be added into the section for treatment. It's just unclear. After reading the page, the reader is left unclear. So my suggestion is to clarify that more especially the treatment that is so common which gives the reader hope. 101.109.220.90 (talk) 02:08, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
