Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins visible on the lower extremities. While varicose veins are typically considered a serious medical condition, it’s usually a good idea to get them checked out by a doctor. In fact, varicose veins can lead to additional health complications in some cases, but this can be avoided if proper treatment is administered in time.
Each person may experience symptoms differently. However, here are the most common ones:
Eventually, severe varicose veins may produce long-term mild swelling, resulting in more serious skin and tissue problems like ulcers and nonhealing sores. In addition, the symptoms of varicose veins may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Because of that, it is best to talk with a healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Anyone can develop varicose veins. Certain factors increase the chances of developing varicose veins, including:
While many people can contain the damage caused by varicose veins, many need medical intervention because their symptoms significantly interfere with the quality of their life. However, the specific treatment for varicose veins will be determined by the healthcare provider based on the following:
Moreover, here are the most effective treatments for varicose veins:
Those who seek assistance early in the progress of developing varicose veins in their legs will be able to try sclerotherapy. The procedure consists of injecting a medicine called sclerosant into the vein lining, causing the vein to collapse, stick together, and the blood to clot. It is given that the body will eventually form scar tissue in this area, but it will disappear over time.
The treatment uses heat energy to damage the vein for it to close, causing the blood flow to stop. It can treat major varicose veins on the legs, wherein a small incision is made to insert a 7 cm fiber into the vein. In fact, it is through this fiber that it releases thermal energy.
Since this is a minimally invasive procedure, minimal discomfort can be expected afterward. However, the damaged vein will be entirely absorbed by the body over time, while the treated area’s size and color will gradually reduce. This varicose vein treatment is painless and requires zero downtime.
A premade foam will be injected into the vein during this procedure. In addition, this medicine will reduce the appearance and symptoms of varicose veins. There is also no need for anesthesia, which is one advantage of this treatment.
Also called vein glue, venaseal is a revolutionary and newly approved treatment. It is used for varicose veins near the skin’s surface. Without anesthesia, the glue is introduced to the vein through just one incision.
Within seconds only, the glue is effective in sealing off the vein completely. Although the area will harden, the body will gradually absorb it. That said, the body will then reroute the blood from this damaged area, after the treatment, into the surrounding healthy veins.
This is the latest treatment for varicose veins, having the advantage of a more effective and quickly completed treatment. Moreover, the treatment involves introducing a rotating catheter into the damaged vein.
As the catheter is withdrawn, an FDA-approved medicine (called STD) is injected. In this procedure, the main advantage is that only 1 injection is required. The injected medicine disrupts the vein’s lining, which promotes using sclerosants to close the vein, and the body gradually absorbs the damaged area.
Complications of varicose veins are rare. If they occur, they may include:
If any of these complications are developed, seek medical attention immediately.
The doctor will diagnose the varicose veins by physical examination. They will take the symptoms and personal and family medical history and examine the veins. Doctors will look for bulging veins while the patient is standing.
The doctor may also do an ultrasound on the veins. This will help find blood flow problems and the veins’ structure. They may also check if more serious conditions are developed, like blood clots, damage to the veins, or ulcers.
Steps to prevent varicose veins include:
If varicose veins are left untreated, the condition may worsen since, over time, the valves in the veins may weaken and stop working properly.
