    Yes, there is surgery for that. It is usually done for varicose veins. But since you cannot provide much information, I do not know what your ex wife is going to have done or why.

    But if you think she was just blowing smoke in your face - there is a real surgery for removing veins.

    Vein ligation and stripping

    HOWEVER do not take this to mean that I believe this is what your ex wife has. It is just food for thought. Ask her!

    It depends on the situation. Did she give you a name of the condition she is experiencing? Has she had issues with blood clots? Numbness? Discoloration? Leg ulcers?

    Sometimes it can be discomfort, but not necessarily a true health concern.
