You may wonder if the bulging veins in your legs can instantly pop, and the answer to that question is yes, but the likelihood of that happening is slim. In very severe cases of vein disease, your legs may swell up due to the excessive pressure that is being placed on them, causing them to pop.
When left untreated, some cases of varicose veins will burst. There have been cases of ruptured varicose veins causing someone to bleed to death, but the chances of this happening are unlikely. However, bursted veins are still very concerning.
Varicose veins appear due to the pooling of blood in your legs, which affects your blood circulation. This extra blood weakens your legs due to the stress it places on them, ultimately causing the bulging veins on your legs known as varicose veins. If these veins are not treated, they will increase in size causing the venous walls to thin as a result of the high pressure. This makes it easy for them to be ruptured, leading to blood loss. A rupture can be caused by a small bump to the affected vein.
How to prevent a ruptured varicose vein?
The only way to prevent a rupture in your varicose veins is by getting them treated early. Upon detecting varicose veins in your legs it is important to go in for a consultation with a specialist in order to properly diagnose and treat your condition before it becomes too late. At Canada Vein Clinics we offer numerous treatment options. At the time of the consultation the specialist will meet with you and create a personalized treatment plan to effectively treat your concerns. The treatment options include:
- Endovenous Laser Therapy
- Sclerotherapy
- Clarivein
- Venaseal
What to do if your varicose vein bursts?
If your varicose vein ruptures it is important to immediately apply pressure to the area, as there will most likely be a large amount of blood. Applying pressure to the affected area will help to minimize blood loss. As uncontrolled blood loss has the potential to be fatal, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after the rupture occurs.

Consultation
by Alan. Trufal
Category: generalAfter 3 veinous ultrasounds, due to a swollen left leg and painful ankle when walking, I got my doctor to refer me to Canada Vein Clinic. Another ultrasound was done in house. I lucked into a virtual consultation with Dr. Matz himself, shortly after , fully expecting a recommendation for one of the vein treatments . Laser was what I expected. Much to my surprise , after being asked a number of questions relating to my symptoms, Dr. Matz suggested that there was no serious vein problem . He recommended an arterial ultrasound, which was also done in house , shortly afterwards. Before I forget , I would also like to thank the staff , and in particular Sasha , for all her help and concern. It appears that I do have minor vein and artery issues in my left leg. But , nothing that would require any intervention at this point in time. I cannot thank Dr. Matz enough. I believe he is a very honest , caring and most competent doctor . If I ever do need a vein procedure , I will return to have Dr. Matz do it.
VenaSeal
by Billie Johnston
Category: generalGreat experience at Canada Vein Clinic. I had the procedure done approximately 3 years ago to remove my varicose veins. It has taken me this long to leave a review because I wanted to be sure it lasted. It has! I was VERY nervous, but on the day of the procedure felt comfortable and confident that I was "in good hands". The actual procedure was not painful and not even uncomfortable. However, 3 or 4 days after, I did develop pain and discomfort (because I did not follow instructions). It was recommended that I apply Arnica and I did not. When I developed the pain, I did start applying the Arnica and within a day everything was as it should be. Highly recommend Canada Vein Clinic. Very professional, courteous, and informative. And my leg is still smooth and vein free after 3 years!
Venalseal
by Gisele McCann
Category: vein therapyI had contacted Dr.Matz at the Canada Vein Clinic to have removal of some very large veins reviewd. Since I have some medical issues, Dr.Matz suggested that the safest way to achieve this would be with the venaseal procedure. Ultrasounds confirmed that this would be the safest way. I was aware that it may not result in a 100% result. The procedure was basically pain free with a minimal amount of bruising and very fast recovery. Multible Ultrasound checks over 1 years Confirmed that the procedure was successful and improved with time. I submitted pictures for a telephone consultation with Dr.Matz and was assured that minor issues could be addressed at a later date. I was treated with the utmost professionalism by Dr.Matz and the clicic staff. I would recommend to get an assessment by Drt.Matz at Canada Vein Clinics. GMCC
Never felt better
by Lori Brummell
Category: vein therapyOne year ago I got my various veins done. My legs have never felt better. It is expensive but well worth it.
Venaseal Treatment
by Francesco Giordano
Category: vein therapyMy varicose vein was so bad that my calf was almost double the size of the other one. After my Venaseal treatment with Dr. Matz, it has shrunk down to the same as the other one with some minor bruising as the only evidence left of the varicose vein. All the staff at the clinic were friendly and kind. Overall it was a great experience.
