Varicose Veins Treatment
Varicose veins can be treated through a variety of methods, including:

Compression stockings: These are tight-fitting stockings that apply pressure to the legs and help improve blood flow.

Sclerotherapy: This is a procedure in which a solution is injected into the vein to shrink it and close it off.

Endovenous ablation therapy: This is a minimally invasive procedure in which a laser or radiofrequency energy is used to close off the vein. The newer endovenous treatment alternatives include the use of Glue ( Venaseal) and MOCA (Mechanical and Chemical Ablation).

Vein ligation and stripping: This is a surgical procedure in which the vein is tied off and removed.

Ambulatory phlebectomy: This is a minimally invasive procedure in which small incisions are made in the skin to remove the vein.

The best treatment option will depend on the patient’s individual case and will be recommended by the Vascular Specialist. Although there are many doctors who treat varicose veins, please ensure that you choose a vascular specialist who can offer the entire range of treatments and the most suitable option. It is very likely that you may need a combination treatment.

Laser treatment and surgery are two common options for treating varicose veins.

Laser treatment, also known as endovenous laser ablation therapy, uses a laser to heat and seal the affected vein. This procedure is performed under local or regional anesthesia and is typically done on an outpatient basis or discharged within 24 hours of the procedure. The recovery time is generally short, and patients can return to normal activities soon after the procedure.

Surgery, also known as vein ligation and stripping, is a more invasive option that involves tying off and removing the affected vein. This procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia and typically requires an overnight stay in the hospital. Recovery time is longer and patients may need to take several weeks off from work or other activities.

The choice of treatment will depend on the size, location, and severity of the varicose veins, as well as the patient’s preference, medical history, and general health condition.
