Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Commonly varicose veins is treated conservatively. Intervention procedures are rarely required. You may visit a general surgeon for conservative treatment. If intervention becomes absolutely necessary you may get it done either through the same general surgeon or a vascular surgeon.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
