So, what are varicose veins? Are varicose veins easy to treat? Is there an alternative to surgery for varicose veins? Let’s find out.
Varicose veins are usually bluish and blackish discolored veins that you commonly see on your legs. These veins are commonly seen in patients who are obese or who do a job that requires them to stand most of the time, like policemen, teachers, security guards, etc.
How do we treat these varicose veins?
Varicose veins were traditionally treated using surgical techniques where they used to strip one part of the vein. That is, they used to cut and remove one part of the vein. But now, there are various technologies and techniques where you can treat varicose veins non-surgically.
- Laser,
- microwave ablation,
- radiofrequency ablation, and
- glue therapy are commonly used to treat varicose veins nowadays.
These varicose veins usually occur in women at or around the time of pregnancy. So how do we treat these varicose veins in a non-surgical way? When you do a Doppler to diagnose varicose veins, you tend to map where those varicose veins are exactly located in your legs. Then, what we do is access one of the larger veins in your legs using ultrasound guidance, and then pass a laser fiber into that vein and use the laser technology to close that vein completely.
There is no surgery required for this anymore
There is no scar, no suture, and it is a simple daycare procedure that we do under a nerve block. That means we give nerve anesthesia, so the leg gets immobilized, and there is no pain in your leg. This is a simpler treatment for varicose veins that does not require surgery. There is no scar, no suture, and it is a simple daycare procedure.
