Cost of Varicose Vein Surgery in Kochi

Doctors can easily diagnose varicose veins through a physical exam. They may also use an ultrasound to check for blood clots or valve issues, using sound waves to create images of the veins. In some cases, a venogram may be done, where a dye is injected into the veins to highlight blood flow in X-rays.

Treatment for varicose veins varies based on your health, the severity of the condition, and your ability to tolerate specific treatments. Common options include

Vein surgery (ligation and stripping): Tying and removing damaged veins to prevent pooling blood.
Laser therapy (endovenous thermal ablation): Using a laser to close off affected veins.
Sclerotherapy (injection therapy): Injecting a solution to cause the vein to close and eventually turn into scar tissue.
Compression stockings: Wearing these helps reduce pain and prevent veins from swelling further.
Elevation: Raising your legs throughout the day to improve circulation.
Microphlebectomy: Removing varicose veins through small incisions using specialised tools. This can be done alone or with vein stripping.

Following varicose vein surgery, it's important to adhere to your doctor's post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Here are some common recommendations

Walking: Engage in a 30-60 minute walk shortly after surgery to encourage blood flow.
Bruising: It's normal to have small bruises on your legs, which should fade in about two weeks.
Transportation: Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery.

Once home, you may be advised to

Ice application: Reduce swelling by applying an ice pack to the treated area for 15 minutes at a time.
Bandage care: Check the surgical areas daily. A small amount of light pink fluid on the bandage is normal.
Keep incisions dry: For the first 48 hours, avoid getting the incision areas wet; sponge baths are recommended until the bandages are removed.
Compression stockings: Wear them as advised to minimise swelling and prevent blood clots.
Avoid inactivity: Refrain from sitting or lying down for extended periods. When sitting, elevate your legs.
Avoid standing for too long: To prevent strain, avoid standing for prolonged periods.
Regular walks: Walk 10-20 minutes, three times a day, for one to two weeks.
Limit strenuous activities: Avoid running, jumping, or lifting heavy objects for at least a week or two, but keep moving.
Skip hot baths: Avoid soaking in hot baths for at least one to two weeks.
Pain management: Take over-the-counter pain relievers only as needed, following your doctor's advice. Some medications may increase bleeding.
Blood thinners: If you stopped taking blood thinners for the surgery, ask your doctor when to resume.
