Varicose vein treatment is a medical procedure to eliminate or reduce swollen, twisted veins. It improves both the cosmetic appearance and the function of the venous system, relieving symptoms such as pain, heaviness, and itching, while also preventing complications like skin pigmentation, eczema, ulcers or blood clots.
Varicose vein treatment can be done using a variety of methods depending on the severity of the condition. The conventional own surgical method like ligation and stripping are now hardly performed, except in a select few cases, especially with recurrent varicose veins. The standard of care now are minimally invasive techniques like radiofrequency or laser ablation therapy, glue therapy or sclerotherapy. These treatments help redirect blood flow to healthier veins and alleviate symptoms.
Varicose vein treatments are typically performed by vascular surgeons. In cases with advanced disease, a multidisciplinary team, including dermatologists, general and plastic surgeons, may also be involved.
At Kauvery Hospital, a leading varicose veins hospital in Bangalore, we specialise in treating varicose veins using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Our team of expert vascular surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities ensures patients receive comprehensive, individualised care. We aim to deliver effective results with a focus on minimising recovery time and optimizing patient comfort.
Presence of varicose veins needs treatment. In the early stage it can be managed by non surgical methods. When the problem is severe it warrants surgical intervention, even when patients don’t have any significant symptoms. This is to prevent complications from happening. When there are symptoms such as pain, discomfort, swelling, or skin pigmentation, eczema and ulcers surgical intervention is definitely recommended. It is also sought for cosmetic reasons when the veins appear unsightly or cause self-consciousness.
Varicose veins can cause several symptoms, including:
At Kauvery Hospital, we provide treatment for a variety of conditions associated with varicose veins, such as:
Thin, red or purple veins visible near the skin surface, often painless but cosmetically concerning. They frequently appear alongside varicose veins.
Chronic venous insufficiency can lead to open sores or ulcers, usually on the legs or ankles, causing discomfort and slow healing.
A serious condition involving blood clots in deeper veins, often in the legs, which can cause swelling, pain, and potentially lead to life-threatening complications like a pulmonary embolism.
A focused laser beam or Radiofrequency energy is used to close off affected veins, rerouting blood flow through healthier vessels.
A chemical solution is injected into the varicose vein especially smaller tributaries, causing it to clot and seal off.
A surgical procedure where damaged veins are tied off or removed to restore normal circulation.
Our treatments, including radiofrequency and laser Ablation therapy, glue therapy and sclerotherapy, are minimally invasive, reducing recovery times and scarring while offering high success rates.
By addressing the underlying venous insufficiency, treatments can alleviate pain, swelling, and heaviness in the legs, significantly improving patient comfort.
Cosmetically, varicose vein treatments help reduce the visibility of unsightly veins, boosting patient confidence.
Early treatment can prevent more serious conditions like skin pigmentation, eczema ulcers, blood clots, and further venous damage.
Kauvery Hospital provides state-of-the-art varicose vein treatment using advanced techniques to deliver effective results. Our approach combines minimally invasive procedures with expert aftercare to ensure patients experience optimal recovery.
A thorough assessment, including Doppler ultrasound, helps determine the severity of the problem and the appropriate treatment plan.
Detailed explanation:
Before the treatment for varicose veins or other venous conditions, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation. This often involves a Doppler ultrasound, which is a non-invasive imaging test that assesses blood flow in the veins. By identifying the affected veins and assessing their severity, the medical team can develop a personalized treatment plan. During this stage, the risks and benefits of different treatment options are discussed with the patient to ensure informed consent.
Techniques such as radiofrequency and laser Ablation therapy, glue therapy or sclerotherapy are performed in a daycare setting, ensuring same-day discharge for most patients.
Detailed explanation:
The procedure itself typically involves minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency or laser ablation therapy (endovenous thermal ablation) or sclerotherapy, where a solution is injected into the vein to close it. These treatments are usually performed on a daycare basis, meaning the patient can return home the same day. In some cases, however, patients may require surgical intervention. Regardless of the procedure, loco-regional anaesthesia or sedation is commonly used to ensure patient comfort.
Patients receive compression stockings, pain management, and follow-up care to monitor healing and prevent recurrence.
Detailed explanation:
Post-treatment care is crucial to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Patients are often advised to wear compression stockings to improve circulation and minimize swelling. Pain management may involve over-the-counter medications or prescribed analgesics, depending on the procedure. Patients are also given detailed instructions regarding activity restrictions, such as avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the patient’s recovery and check for any signs of recurrence or complications.
