Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins—usually in the legs—caused by weakened valves that lead to blood pooling. They may appear as small spider veins causing cosmetic concern, or as larger, bulging veins that can be painful and uncomfortable.

Causes & Risk Factors:

• Age and Gender (More common in women)
• Family history of varicose veins
• Prolonged standing or sitting
• Obesity
• Pregnancy
• Smoking

SYMPTOMS:

• Bulging, twisted veins visible under the skin
• Aching, heavy legs
• Swelling in the lower legs
• Itching around the veins
• Skin discoloration
• Ulceration

TREATMENT:

• ENDOVENOUS THERMAL ABLATION (RFA/LASER)
• SCLEROTHERAPY
• GLUE THERAPY
• SURGICAL VEIN STRIPPING
• HOOK PHLEBECTOMY
• COMPRESSION STOCKINGS

Lifestyle Modifications:

• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Regular exercise to improve circulation.
• Avoid standing or sitting for long periods.
• Elevate legs when resting.

Medications:

• Pain relief medications.
• Medications to improve vein tone (Veno tonics).

Disorders of the bigger veins can be significant or even life-threatening, whereas diseases of the smaller veins may not pose a health risk. There may be severe vein disease without obvious symptoms. Patients should be assessed for therapy if they exhibit any vein disease symptoms or if they have already experienced consequences like phlebitis, bleeding, ulceration, or blood clots. This will help to stop the condition from progressing to more hazardous stages.
