Varicose veins are enlarged, thickened, elongated and twisted veins, most commonly appearing in legs and feet.
Also called Spider veins.
CAUSE: It occurs due to the weakness of the walls and valves.
It occurs due to:
? Ageing process
? Hormones
? Tight clothing
? Excess weight
? The pressure inside the vein from standing for long periods.
SYMPTOMS: It usually occurs due to the following:
? Swelling of legs and feet
? Discolouration of skin
? Ulcers
? Bulging veins
? Feeling of heaviness in the legs
? Itching
? Pain
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTS: Physical examination by a doctor is necessary.
Also, an Ultrasound is recommended by the doctor.
MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT:
No proper cure is available for Varicose veins, but the following treatment can reduce them:
? Elevation of the affected leg or foot.
? Elastic stockings
? Laser therapy
? Injection therapy (SCLEROTHERAPY)
? Vein surgery
SCLEROTHERAPY: In this treatment method, a solution is injected directly into a vein, causing the lining of the blood vessel to swell and stick together. Over time, this vessel turns into scar tissue and fades away.
COST ESTIMATE: The cost estimate will depend on the following factors:
? Condition of the patient
? Treatment method
? Pre Existing ailments like diabetes, anaemia, etc
The exact estimate can only be provided after consultation with the doctor.
