What Is Varicose Vein?

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins that typically appear blue or dark purple. They often occur in the legs and can be easily seen through the skin. Varicose veins develop when the valves in the veins weaken or become damaged, causing blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. This pooling of blood can lead to discomfort, pain, swelling, and sometimes complications such as blood clots or skin ulcers. Factors like genetics, age, pregnancy, obesity, and prolonged periods of standing or sitting can increase the risk of developing varicose veins.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

• Swollen, twisted veins visible under the skin, usually blue or dark purple.
• Aching or heaviness in the legs, especially after standing for long periods.
• Pain or discomfort in the affected area.
• Swelling, particularly around the ankles and lower legs.
• Itching or burning sensations over the affected veins.
• Muscle cramps, especially at night.
• Discolored skin around the affected veins, often red or brown.
• Restlessness or a strong urge to move the legs, especially at night.
• Skin changes over time, such as dryness, thinning, or ulcers in severe cases.

These symptoms can vary in severity from person to person.

When to Seek Medical Help

If you experience persistent pain, swelling, or skin changes around your veins, it's important to seek medical help. Varicose veins can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Available Treatment Option

• Surgical
• Non Surgical - Venaseal Closure

What is Venaseal Closure?

Venaseal Closure is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat varicose veins. The procedure involves a small injection. It typically takes less than an hour to complete, and you can leave the hospital the same day.

VenaSeal closure is a treatment for varicose veins where a special glue is injected into the vein to seal it shut. This redirects blood flow to healthier veins, relieving symptoms like pain and swelling. It's a simple, minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery time.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, meaning you're awake but won't feel any pain in the treated area. A small catheter is inserted into the varicose vein through a tiny incision or needle stick. Once in place, the adhesive is injected through the catheter directly into the vein. As the adhesive is delivered, the catheter is slowly withdrawn, allowing the vein to seal closed.

Advantages of Venaseal Closure

• Minimally invasive: The procedure is performed through a small incision, reducing the risk of scarring and complications.
• Less invasive: It's a gentler procedure that doesn't involve major surgery.
• Faster recovery: You can get back to your normal routine sooner.
• Less pain: You'll likely experience less discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
• Fewer complications: Less risk of problems like infection or bleeding.
• Better appearance: It can improve the look of varicose veins.
• More comfort: It's generally a more comfortable experience for patients.
• Long-lasting results: The effects can last for years.
• High success rate: Venaseal Closure has been shown to effectively treat varicose veins with long-lasting results.
• Quick recovery: Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
