Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that typically appear blue or purple and often bulge out from the skin’s surface. These veins usually occur in the legs and can be a result of weakened or damaged valves within the veins, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge. Varicose veins affect millions of people worldwide, causing not only physical discomfort but also emotional distress and a dent in self-confidence. The good news is that modern medicine offers effective solutions to treat varicose veins for good. At Dr. Ram Advanced Surgical Hospital, we offer advanced treatment options for varicose veins, including Varicose Vein Surgery in Ahmedabad, performed by Varicose Veins Specialists, to provide relief and give quality of life for our patients.
Symptoms of Varicose Veins
Varicose veins can display various symptoms, some symptoms include:
- Visible, twisted, or bulging veins on the legs.
- Pain or heaviness in your legs, particularly after being on your feet or sitting for an extended period.
- Swelling, throbbing, or cramping in the legs.
- Itching or burning sensation around the veins.
- Discomfort by prolonged standing or sitting.
Causes of Varicose Veins
Multiple factors lead to the development of varicose veins, which include:
- Varicose veins may occur due to weakened valves in our veins as we age. If someone in your family has had varicose veins, there's a higher chance you could develop them too.
- Varicose veins may occur due to weakened valves in our veins as we age. If someone in your family has had varicose veins, there's a higher chance you could develop them too.
- Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause, women are more likely to develop varicose veins.
- The increased blood volume and hormonal changes during pregnancy can contribute to the development of this condition.
- Excess weight increases the pressure on veins and raises the risk of developing varicose veins.
- Jobs or habits involving prolonged standing or sitting periods can impair circulation and contribute to varicose veins.
To diagnose varicose veins, we utilise a procedure known as a venous Doppler ultrasound of the leg. This painless test employs sound waves to examine blood flow within the veins' valves. Also, a leg ultrasound can aid in detecting the presence of a blood clot. These help to decide if a person requires Varicose Vein Surgery or not.
Varicose Vein Surgery in Ahmedabad
At Dr Ram's Advanced Surgical Care, we offer various minimally invasive options for Varicose Vein Treatment in Ahmedabad, ensuring a faster recovery and less discomfort than traditional surgery. Our experienced Varicose Vein Surgeons will discuss your needs and recommend the most suitable treatment approach. Here are some of the treatment options we provide to treat Varicose Vein problem:
- Endovenous Laser Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to heat and close the varicose vein. The laser is inserted into a thin catheter placed within the vein. The heat shrinks the vein wall, causing it to seal shut. With time, the body reabsorbs the treated vein. Endovenous laser ablation or Varicose Vein Laser Surgery offers several benefits, including minimal scarring, faster recovery time, and less pain than traditional surgery.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is like laser ablation. RFA uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close the varicose vein. This Varicose Vein Surgery is also minimally invasive and offers faster recovery times.
- Sclerotherapy is a varicose vein treatment that involves injecting a solution into the varicose vein, causing it to irritate and scar. The scarred vein walls collapse and eventually disappear. Sclerotherapy is typically used for smaller varicose veins and spider veins.
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy is a minimally invasive procedure involving the removal of small varicose veins through tiny incisions, performed by our Varicose Vein Surgeon in Ahmedabad. The incisions are typically small and require minimal stitches or scarring.
