What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are swollen, bluish veins that run beneath the skin surface. They majorly affect the veins of legs and feet. The term "superficial varicose veins" refers to visible swollen and twisted veins that are occasionally bordered by patches of flooded capillaries known as spider veins. They can be extremely painful and disfiguring but are usually harmless. The affected area can be tender to touch.
Indications that show the presence of varicose veins:
Most of the varicose veins do not show any signs. Few
of them can show few signs like:
Discolored veins from blue to dark purple
Veins that are bulgy or twisted, that generally appear like cords
Heaviness in legs associated with aches
Inflammation, extreme throbbing, cramping of muscles
Swelling of the affected legs
Severe pain after prolonged hours of sitting or standing
Itchy feeling around the affected veins
Discoloration of skin around the affected veins
Varicose veins are caused by faulty or damaged valves. Arteries transport blood from your heart to your tissues, whereas veins return blood from the rest of your body to your heart, allowing the blood to be recirculated. The veins in your legs must battle against gravity to return blood to your heart.
Diagnosis of varicose veins:
Before determining the varicose veins treatment, the specialist recommends to undergo a couple of tests to understand the severity and to opt the treatment that better fits your need.
Physical examination: A doctor's physical examination, which is primarily visual, can assist detect whether or not someone has varicose veins. The patient will be asked to stand as the doctor examines them for swelling.
A doppler test, also known as a duplex ultrasound, may be recommended by a clinician. This test can be done in one or both ways by the technician. Gray scale B-mode ultrasonography and color-flow doppler ultrasound are the two types. After the necessary tests, the specialist may ask a couple of questions about the symptoms and a varicose veins specialist recommends the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
A little cut in your skin near the varicose vein is made by the doctor. He or she then inserts a catheter, a tiny tube, into the vein. The inside of the vein is heated and closed by a device at the tube's tip.
Varicose vein laser surgery is precisely directing a highly focused beam of light (laser) into the vein's inner lining while avoiding the surrounding tissue. The laser energy causes the inner lining of swollen varicose veins in the leg to heat up and shrink, causing them to collapse.
On the thigh and calf, prominent dark purple or blue blood vessels might be seen. Legs that are aching, painful, heavy, or sore, typically with swelling in the ankles or feet after standing for a long time are the few of the signs of varicose veins.
Varicose veins treatment cost can depend upon various factors like the type of treatment, location of the hospital, and also the expertise of the specialist performing the surgery. You can discuss with your specialist about the costs.
A physical exam will be performed by your doctor to detect varicose veins, which will include a look at your legs while you're standing to check for swelling. Your doctor could also ask you to describe any leg pain or soreness. You may also need an ultrasound to examine if the valves in your veins are functioning regularly or if a blood clot is present
