The removal of varicose veins in most modern ways.

It is estimated that approximately 25% of people have varicose veins, while more than 50%, in particular women, have so-called “vascular mesh”.

In most cases, patients are referred to a vascular surgeon due to cosmetic problems – the presence of visible varicose veins on the legs. However, if patients are not treated, the disease progresses and begins to cause such unpleasant symptoms as heaviness, pain, feelings of restless legs and edema that intensify overnight and after prolonged sitting and standing or physical labor. In case of missed cases, varicose veins increase the color of the skin of the legs (darkening, or hyperpigmentation), its consolidation, or the appearance of venous eczema. On the site of the changed skin, the ulcer is formed, which does not heal long and eventually increases in size, becoming circular.

Timely treatment of varicose veins prevents the progression of the disease and the occurrence of complications (including venous thrombosis and bleeding from varices and ulcers). It is important to realize that the achievements of modern medicine allow fast and high quality n! Within an hour of time under local or potential local anesthesia!

Long staying in a hospital, disability for several weeks or months, etc., which are associated in most patients with varicose veins, have already been in the past.

Who needs to consult? You have to consult the vascular surgeon if you have:

varicose veins on the legs;
a feeling of heaviness in the legs that intensifies in the evening and after a long walk, sitting and standing;
night cramps;
the edema on legs, especially asymmetric (in one leg), increasing in the evening and decreasing the superficialness;
the sensation of itching, itching in the skin and legs;
darkening of the skin of the legs, its sealing;
the formation of ulcers on the legs.

In most cases, one can find the optimal treatment for each patient.

What are the main methods of varicose veins treating?

Compression therapy – compression outside with specially selected compression knitwear reduces the amount of waste venous blood in the legs and improves its outflow, which reduces the symptoms associated with venous stasis and venous insufficiency.
Endovascular ablation (laser or radiofrequency). In the lumen of the trunk of the main vein, on which flows back the spent venous blood, a needle is inserted into a thin, rounded fiber. Under the control of ultrasound a local anesthetic is introduced around the vein, then the vein is burned from the inside of the fiber heating, after which its walls “stick together” and there is no reverse flow of blood. If necessary, other visible varicose veins are removed through micro cuts that do not leave scars. The procedure takes up to an hour, is conducted under local or potential local anesthesia, and does not require anesthesia or injections in the back and prolonged stay in the hospital after the procedure.
Foam. Foam Aethoxysklerol is injected into the varicose veins under the control of ultrasound. The foam burns inside the vein wall, after which it is glued and disappears. The method can be combined with other methods of treatment, including miniflectomy, ablation, and others.
Removal (ectomy) of varicose veins. Under local or potentiated local anesthesia, varicose subcutaneous veins, including trunk, are removed completely. The procedure is carried out under the local anesthesia through the skin and provides a reliable therapeutic result (the veins are removed completely) and the cosmetic result (absence of scarring, scarring or pigmentation), because in a few months cannot see varicose veins or scars. The procedure takes up to an hour, is conducted under local or partially local anesthesia. It does not require anesthesia or injections in the back and prolonged stay in the hospital after the procedure.

In each case, the vascular surgeon together with you can to choose the optimal treatment method for you, which will ensure your comfort and a good therapeutic effect.
