If you are dealing with varicose veins there are a number of medical treatments available depending on the severity of your condition and other health factors. A consultation with a vascular surgeon will be the first step in determining what treatment you can opt for to relieve your condition. Here are some of the common solutions you can try:
Exercise: Regular physical activity, especially exercises that engage the calf muscles, can help improve blood circulation and strengthen the veins. Walking and swimming are also good options.
Leg elevation: Elevating your legs above heart level can reduce swelling and improve blood flow.
Compression stockings: Wearing compression stockings can help reduce the symptoms of varicose veins through external pressure that supports blood flow in the legs.
Sclerotherapy: With this procedure, a special solution is injected into the affected veins, causing them to collapse and fade over time. This procedure is often used for smaller varicose veins and spider veins.
Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) or Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): These procedures involve using heat, generated through laser or radiofrequency energy, to heat and close off the affected veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins.
Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy: This procedure is similar to traditional sclerotherapy but uses a foam-based solution instead. This technique is used for larger veins, that are not suitable for standard sclerotherapy.
VenaSeal closure: In this procedure, the consultant vascular surgeon will shut the affected vein with a medical adhesive, allowing blood to reroute through healthier veins.
Vein stripping and ligation: This surgical procedure involves tying off and removing the damaged vein and is generally used for severe cases or, when other treatments have failed.
Ambulatory phlebectomy: This minimally invasive surgical procedure involves the removal of smaller varicose veins through tiny incisions.
Endoscopic vein surgery: A minimally invasive surgery used to treat severe cases where ulcers have formed. The vascular surgeon will use an endoscope to visualise and remove damaged veins.
