Say Goodbye to Varicose Veins, with minimal invasive treatment's

Worsening of Varicose Veins

Causes:

Varicose veins are caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, age, and lifestyle. In some cases, they may be the result of weakened valves in the veins that prevent blood from flowing properly. This can cause blood to pool in the veins, leading to the development of varicose veins. Other factors that can contribute to the development of varicose veins include pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged periods of sitting or standing.

Symptoms:

The most common symptom of varicose veins is the appearance of bulging, twisted veins just below the skin’s surface. Other symptoms may include:

Swelling in the legs.

Achy or heavy feeling in the legs.

Itching or burning sensation in the affected area.

Muscle cramps or spasms in the legs.

Skin discoloration or inflammation around the affected area.

Treatment Options:

Compression stockings: Wearing compression stockings can help improve blood flow and reduce swelling in the legs.

Sclerotherapy: This is a minimally invasive procedure that involves injecting a solution into the affected veins, causing them to shrink and disappear.

Endovenous ablation treatment: This procedure uses energy to heat and seal off the affected veins. 

Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove or repair the affected veins.
