Treatments to Get Rid of Varicose Vein in India

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted, painful veins that have filled with blood. They usually develop in the legs. Your doctor may be able to treat them in noninvasive ways instead of vein stripping, the traditional surgery for this problem.

                                                                   

Causes of Varicose Veins:
Varicose veins can be caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins. The heart pumps blood filled with oxygen and nutrients to the whole body through the arteries. Veins then carry the blood from the body back to the heart. As your leg muscles squeeze, they push blood back to the heart from your lower body against the flow of gravity. Veins have valves that act as one-way flaps to prevent blood from flowing backwards as it moves up your legs. If the valves become weak, blood can leak back into the veins and collect there. (This problem is called venous insufficiency.) When backed-up blood makes the veins bigger, they can become varicose.
                                                          

What are the signs of varicose veins

Varicose veins can often be seen on the skin. Some other common symptoms of varicose veins in the legs include:

  •     Aching pain that may get worse after sitting or standing for a long time
  •     Throbbing or cramping
  •     Heaviness
  •     Swelling

Varicose vein Treatemnt includes:
Compression Stockings
Compression stockings put helpful pressure on your veins.
There are 3 kinds of compression stockings:
  • Support pantyhose, which offer the least amount of pressure.
  • Over-the-counter gradient compression hose, which give a little more pressure. They are sold in medical supply and drugstores.
  • Prescription-strength gradient compression hose, which offer the greatest amount of pressure. They are sold in medical supply and drugstores.
Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy (SKLER-o-ther-a-pee) is the most common treatment for both spider veins and varicose veins. The doctor uses a needle to inject a liquid chemical into the vein.


Surface Laser Treatments

PIN stripping
 In this treatment, an instrument called a PIN stripper is inserted into a vein. The tip of the PIN stripper is sewn to the end of the vein, and when it is removed, the vein is pulled out. This procedure can be done in an operating room or an outpatient center. General or local anesthesia can be used.
