Your doctor will choose a specific varicose vein therapy based on:
- Age, general health, and medical background
- Magnitude of the problem
- Your symptoms and signs
- Your ability to tolerate particular treatments, operations, or medications
- Expectations on how the illness will progress
Varicose veins cannot be cured, but the following treatments can lessen their symptoms and appearance:
Vein Surgery: The goal of this surgery which is also known as ligation and stripping is to stop blood from pooling by tying off the afflicted vein. The surgeon might cut out (strip) the vein to prevent varicose veins from developing again.
Laser Therapy: A catheter (a long, thin tube) and laser are used by medical professionals in the minimally invasive surgery called endovenous thermal ablation to seal off a damaged vein.
Sclerotherapy (Injection Therapy): A medical professional injects a solution into your vein during sclerotherapy. The vein walls adhere to one another as a result of the solution. Your vein eventually dissolves and transforms into scar tissue
Elastic Stockings: Your veins will be compressed with compression socks or stockings which will reduce the pain. Your veins cannot expand because of the compression which also promotes blood flow.
Elevation: Raise your legs above your waist multiple times during the day to improve blood flow and lower your vein pressure.
Microphlebectomy: Varicose veins are removed using specialised equipment that are inserted through tiny cuts (incisions). It may be performed alone or with vein stripping.
