Varicose veins ka permanent solution? EDFC, Surat explains the causes, symptoms and treatment options, from laser to surgery, and how to keep results.
Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins, usually on the legs, that can cause heaviness, pain and swelling. Many people search for a "varicose veins ka permanent solution". In this short video, Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC), Surat explains varicose vein treatment and surgery, under the guidance of Dr. Ashutosh Shah.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
Leg veins have small valves that keep blood flowing up towards the heart. When these valves weaken, blood pools in the veins, which then stretch and bulge. Long hours of standing, pregnancy, weight gain, age and family history all increase the risk.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Visible blue or purple bulging veins
- Heaviness, aching or cramps in the legs, especially in the evening
- Swelling around the ankles
- Itching, darkening or thickening of the skin near the ankle
- A wound near the ankle that does not heal (venous ulcer)
Varicose Vein Treatment Options
Treatment depends on which veins are affected, which is checked with a Doppler ultrasound scan. Options may include:
- Compression stockings: Support the veins and ease symptoms.
- Minimally invasive procedures: Laser or radiofrequency treatment that closes the faulty vein from inside, through a needle puncture.
- Injection treatment: Used for smaller veins.
- Surgery: Removal of the affected vein in selected cases.
Is There a Permanent Solution?
Treated veins are closed or removed and do not come back. However, new varicose veins can develop over time, so staying active, managing weight and wearing compression as advised help keep results lasting.
