    What could be the cause of varicose veins?

    Varicose veins may appear for many reasons, but there is a major one that arises from the pressure exerted veins while carrying blood to the heart. A valve helps the blood flow in one direction, whereas the veins’ main function is to carry de-oxygenated blood to the heart. Once there is any issue, the veins and the valves will not work effectively causing pressure to build up in order to perform their work hence, leading to enlarged veins.

    Varicose veins are also common in pregnant women, overweight individuals, and those who sit or stand for a long period of time

    How terrible are they?

    Since there are different types of varicose veins, it is quite difficult to measure their severity unless they properly form or visible on the legs. They impose no pain, yet have a disgusting appearance and for those conscious about their body image, the problem has major psychological impacts

    Varicose veins alter the shape of the legs or the thighs which can also be visible even if one is well dressed.

    THE BEST & POSSIBLE TREATMENTS FOR VARICOSE VEINS

    Once all the above-mentioned problems are recognized in a man or woman, it is best to seek varicose veins treatment. The treatments range from surgical treatments to nonsurgical treatments each performed, depending on the type of varicose veins.

    SCLEROTHERAPY

    It is a minimally invasive treatment where foam (treatment) is injected into the enlarged veins. This treatment is best for smaller veins, including spider veins. The foam works by damaging the endothelium causing the blood platelets to connect to the vessels and the end, the blood vessel to clot. Within a few months, the clotted vessel is repaired and there will be no sign varicose veins

    ENDOVENOUS LASER TREATMENT FOR SEVERE VARICOSE VEINS (EVLT)

    This a surgical procedure, conducted in cases of severe or large varicose veins

    There are two main players in this modern technique. That is; the energy and the ultrasound method. By using the ultrasound, the energy is directed into the varicose vein which causes it to contract. A fiber laser is used and in an EVLT, it is meant to minimize damage to the tissue. It is then removed out of the skin

    THE PROCESS

    A numbing cream may be used or Anesthesia may be administered to a patient. The areas will be cleaned and you will be requested to wear protective goggles.

    The laser fiber is directed into the varicose veins and the patient may feel a tingling sensation. The light energy will trigger the blood to coagulate and the vein is absorbed within the body. With time, the varicose veins will be no more

    What happens after this procedure?

    • A cold compressor is applied on the legs since you will be feeling warm in the treated areas. Bandage is also applied which is removed after a few days
    • There will be swelling and redness, but will go with time
    • There is minimal scarring
