What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that appear just beneath the surface of the skin, most commonly in the legs and feet. They develop when the one-way valves inside the veins stop functioning properly and allow blood to pool instead of flowing efficiently back to the heart.

While varicose veins are very common, they can progress to complications such as skin ulcers, bleeding, and deep vein thrombosis if ignored. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent these issues and improve quality of life.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Patients often notice both visible changes and physical discomfort. Common symptoms include:

Spider veins are a milder form of venous disease and may be an early sign of venous insufficiency.

What Causes Varicose Veins?

Several factors contribute to the development of varicose veins.

Primary Causes

• Weakened or damaged vein valves causing backward blood flow.
• Increased vein pressure due to prolonged standing.
• Genetic predisposition and family history.

Diagnosis of Varicose Veins

Diagnosis begins with a thorough physical examination and a review of your symptoms and medical history. The key diagnostic tool is a duplex ultrasound, a non-invasive scan that maps blood flow in your veins and identifies reflux or blockages.

This helps Dr. Srihari Shapur plan the most appropriate treatment, whether that is EVLT, sclerotherapy, RFA, or another targeted option.

Varicose Vein Treatment Options in Gottigere

Treatment is tailored to the severity of the condition and your overall health profile.

1. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT)

EVLT is the gold standard in modern varicose vein treatment. A thin laser fibre is inserted into the affected vein under local anaesthesia. The laser seals the vein from within, and the body gradually absorbs it.

2. Sclerotherapy

A sclerosant solution is injected into smaller varicose or spider veins, causing them to close and fade.

3. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

Similar to EVLT, RFA uses radiofrequency energy to close the diseased vein with a minimally invasive approach.

4. Foam Sclerotherapy

A foam version of the sclerosant is used for larger veins to improve contact with the vein wall and increase treatment effectiveness.

5. Traditional Surgery (Phlebectomy)

In selected cases involving very large or tortuous veins, micro-phlebectomy may be recommended through tiny incisions.

Recovery After Varicose Vein Surgery

Recovery after laser or minimally invasive varicose vein treatment is usually straightforward.

Follow-up ultrasound scans are used to confirm successful vein closure, and the clinic team provides complete post-operative guidance.
