Varicose Vein Treatment in Ahmedabad

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that commonly appear on the legs and feet. They occur when the valves in the veins stop working properly, causing blood to pool and veins to swell. Although often considered a cosmetic issue, untreated varicose veins may lead to pain, discomfort, swelling, and in severe cases, complications like ulcers or blood clots.

Common Symptoms of Varicose Veins

  • Bulging, twisted, or rope-like veins visible under the skin
  • Aching or heaviness in the legs, especially after standing or walking for long periods
  • Burning, throbbing, or muscle cramps in the legs
  • Swelling in ankles and feet
  • Skin discoloration or ulcers near the ankle (in advanced cases)

Causes of Varicose Veins

Several factors contribute to weakened vein valves and poor blood circulation:

  • Family history of vein problems
  • Prolonged standing or sitting
  • Pregnancy and hormonal changes
  • Obesity or being overweight
  • Aging and loss of vein elasticity
  • Previous leg injuries or blood clots

Diagnosis of Varicose Veins

A physical examination is usually enough to diagnose varicose veins. To evaluate vein function and rule out complications, doctors may recommend:

  • Doppler Ultrasound – Checks blood flow and detects faulty valves or clots
  • Venogram – Uses contrast dye and X-rays for detailed imaging of veins

Treatment Options for Varicose Veins

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and cosmetic concerns. Options include:

  • Lifestyle Changes – Weight management, exercise, avoiding long periods of standing, and leg elevation
  • Compression Stockings – Helps improve circulation and reduce discomfort
  • Sclerotherapy – Injection therapy that closes small to medium varicose veins
  • Laser Treatment (Endovenous Laser Therapy) – A minimally invasive method that uses laser energy to seal off varicose veins
  • Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Uses heat energy to close affected veins
  • Surgical Ligation & Stripping – Traditional removal of problematic veins in severe cases
