Suitable Varicose Vein Treatment Options

By Freida Michael


One ital system in humans is circulatory system. It aids in absorption and distribution or redistribution of substances in the body. This system must work efficiently so as to sustain quality and desired life. If for any reason the system malfunctions then life quality is compromised. Timely treatment is therefore necessary so as to avoid complications. One such timely intervention includes varicose vein treatment.

Different persons may seek medical care for varying reasons. More often, distressing symptoms and or complications of varicose veins is the primary driving force behind health seeking. In some other cases, individuals come complaining of undesired physical appearance created by venous distention. Whichever the case, it is necessary that all cases are addressed in time and effectively. In addressing this condition, physicians may adopt different available options as outlined below.

Endothermic ablation is one most commonly adopted form of mangement for this condition. It involves closing of all affected vessel structures. To achieve this form of care, radiofrequency ablation or laser treatment may be of great importance. An intense energy source delivered to the walls of a venous structure causes it to disintegrate and collapse. Sealing these structures promotes patient comfort.

A second option of therapy is sclerotherapy. A physician injects a special kind of foam into affected structures. After an injection of this kind, veins involved scar, lose their integrity and eventually collapse. Once they collapse, all distressing symptoms fade away after a few days since they no longer function as part of circulatory system. However, not all clients can utilize this form of treatment. All persons undergoing this kind of treatment must not have had deep vein thrombosis.

In case one is not suitable for the above two options, surgical intervention may be the next available care option. In this procedure, an incision is made at terminal ends of identified structures; a thin flexible sterile metal wire is then inserted into the vessels to aid in stripping it off. A local or general anesthesia may be used depending on the extent of structures involved. After undergoing this minor surgery, one may experience some minor complications as bruising. Major complications as deep vein thrombosis may also occur but are very rare.

Phlebectomy is a fourth option available to contain this situation. It is a new way of managing varicose veins. A small incision is performed under local anesthesia to allow illumination of underlying structures. Illumination allows a physician to identify underlying target structures. Identified structures are then suctioned and digested thereby illuminating troubling structures.

Another recommended management for this condition is the use of compression stockings. These stockings are specially designed to compress or squeeze calf muscles and surrounding structures. This way, blood flow back to heart is promoted so as to avoid blood stasis and its related distress.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that timely management of varicose veins is the most appropriate action needed to prevent undesired health complications. These complications are preventable and therefore should not be allowed to cause avoidable disability.
