Hi there. Thank you for posting your question. I will do my best to help you.

No. Ecosprin is a form of Aspirin. As such it falls under a category of medicine call 'antiplatelets'. Aspirin will give you some protection against blood clotting in that they stop platelets from sticking together and forming clot. Because of your strong family history of coronary artery disease, taking aspirin is a very good idea.

They do not however cause leaking capillaries in your legs. These and your ruptured varicose vain are caused by back pressure and you taking aspirin has nothing to do with it. You may need to have your varicose veins looked after surgically.

Obviously you need to keep your diet and weight in check. You might also consider testosterone replacement therapy especially if your cholesterol is high.

I hope that I have answered your questions fully and been of some help. If you have anymore questions please contact me again anytime. Please take care.

Dr Andrew Rynne.
