Will the ultrasound waves damage the unborn fetus? Could the sclering chemicals hurt the mother or baby?
No, the ultrasound is not harmful to the unborn fetus, although I would not recommend elective ultrasound guided injection sclerotherapy during pregnancy. I would reserve elective vein treatments during pregnancy only to injection of bleeding varicose or spider veins only after failure of conservative compression therapy.
