Venous foot ulcer cured by The Whiteley Protocol (TM)

This 84 year old lady has been admitted to Accident and Emergency on 2 separate occasions, bleeding from her left foot ulcer. One of these hospital departments as in a teaching hospital!

On each occasion, the bleeding was stopped and the patient discharged home with compression stockings. She was not offered any treatment to cure her or to stop it happening again.



Venous foot ulcer - bled badly enough to need emergency
admission to hospital on 2 occasions

The ulcer became so painful that she couldn't wear shoes and found it hard to walk. Her GP took a biopsy which made the ulcer worse.

Fortunately the lady heard about The Whiteley Clinic and The Whiteley Protocol (TM) from a friend and came for an extended duplex ultrasound scan 6 weeks ago.

The scan showed "hidden varicose veins" which were treated 4 weeks ago by local anaesthetic EVLT (endovenous laser therapy) and TRLOP (Transluminal Occlusion of Perforators) which was invented by Prof Mark Whiteley.




4 weeks after treatment by The Whiteley Protocol (TM) the
ulcer is almost healed and the patient is wearing shoes and playing golf again! 

Four weeks later, the ulcer is almost healed, she can wear shoes again and walk well - and has even managed to return to playing golf again.

The Whiteley Protocol (TM) is a trademark of The Whiteley Clinic and is only available through The Whiteley Clinic.

Patients with Leg Ulcers and their Carers needed for Leg Ulcer research project - The Leg Ulcer Charity

The Leg Ulcer charity is performing a research study, asking patients with leg ulcers or those who care for them, to answer an online questionnaire. For this study, we are not including paid health care professionals - just friends, family or volunteers who provide care to patients with leg ulcers without being paid to do so.

Patients with Leg Ulcers and their carers needed to help with Leg Ulcer Research http://www.legulcercharity.org/research.html

If you are someone who:

- has a leg ulcer
- cares for someone with a leg ulcer without being paid for it

then please follow this link and answer the online questionnaire.

If you know someone who:

- has a leg ulcer
- cares for someone with a leg ulcer without being paid for it

then please send them this link and ask them to answer the online questionnaire.


The Leg Ulcer Charity is a UK based charity which aims to help patients find a permanent cure for their leg ulcers. Over 60% of people with leg ulcers could be cured, if only patients were given the chance to have a duplex ultrasound scan and local anaesthetic laser vein surgery. Support stockings or bandages do not cure leg ulcers - they only provide temporary healing before the ulcers return again in the future.

For more information about Leg Ulcers and how to find a cure, please see: www.legulcercharity.org

We need donations to be able to achieve our aim - to stop needless suffering in those patients with leg ulcers who might be curable with simple tests and local anaesthetic treatments. Please forward our website to everyone you know - why not make The Leg Ulcer Charity your charity of choice next time you are involved in any fund-raising?

Varicose veins of vagina and vulva - Prof Mark Whiteley featured in Daily Mail

Women suffering from varicose veins of the vagina and vulva is a common problem after childbirth that can now be cured. Unfortunately most gynaecologists and midwives don't seem to know this and so women are left to suffer without curative treatment.


Prof Mark Whiteley featured in Daily Mail
explaining about Vaginal and Vulval Varicose Veins

Since 2000, Prof Mark Whiteley and his team have been researching pelvic varicose veins - the cause of pelvic congestion syndrome and varicose veins of the vagina and vulva. They have perfected the Transvaginal Duplex Ultrasound scan which their research shows is far superior to CT, MRI and venograms to find out the source of pelvic varicose veins.

Once found, these can be treated under X-ray control using a technique called "Coil Embolisation". Through a single needle hole, a special catheter can be passed through the venous system into the pelvic veins that are causing the problem. A metal coil can then be passed into the vein, causing it to contract and permanently close.

After 6 weeks, many of the visible varicose veins have gone and most of the discomfort and pain caused by the varicose veins has also been cured. Any remaining veins can be injected with foam sclerotherapy using the Carbon Dioxide/Oxygen foam technique published by The Whiteley Clinic that is much safer than the original Air foam technique.
