Varicose Veins: Treatment Options Explained by Dr. Rakesh Mahajan
Welcome to this informative video on the available treatment options for Varicose Veins by Dr. Rakesh Mahajan at Apollo Hospital Delhi. Varicose veins are a common condition that affects many people, characterized by enlarged, twisted, and visible veins, usually in the legs. It can cause discomfort, pain, and even lead to more serious health problems if left untreated. The good news is that there are several treatment options available for varicose veins. The choice of treatment will depend on the severity of the condition, the patient’s age and overall health, and their personal preferences.
One of the most common treatments for varicose veins is sclerotherapy. This procedure involves injecting a solution into the affected vein, which causes the vein to collapse and seal shut. This treatment is relatively painless and can be done on an outpatient basis. Another popular treatment option is endovenous laser therapy, also known as EVLT. This procedure uses a laser to heat and seal the affected vein. It is also performed on an outpatient basis and has a quick recovery time. For more severe cases, surgical options such as vein stripping and ligation may be recommended. These procedures involve the removal of the affected vein and are typically done in a hospital setting.
In addition to these traditional treatment options, newer minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency ablation and ambulatory phlebectomy are also available. These procedures are highly effective and have a faster recovery time.
