What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins develop when veins become enlarged and twisted, usually because the valves that help blood flow towards the heart are not functioning properly. Blood can collect in the affected veins, causing them to become prominent.

Varicose veins may cause discomfort or visible changes in the legs. Some people have mild symptoms, while others experience persistent pain, swelling or skin complications.

Symptoms of Varicose Veins

Common symptoms and signs include:

• Bulging or twisted veins visible beneath the skin
• Aching or heaviness in the legs
• Swelling around the ankles or lower legs
• Itching or burning around affected veins
• Leg discomfort after prolonged standing
• Skin discolouration or other skin changes near the ankles
• Wounds near the lower legs that heal slowly

If you experience persistent symptoms or notice changes in your skin, consult a qualified medical professional for assessment.

Laser Treatment for Varicose Veins

Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) is a minimally invasive procedure used to close an affected vein from within. A thin catheter is guided into the vein, usually with ultrasound assistance, and laser energy is used to close the targeted section.

Blood is then redirected through other functioning veins. EVLT may be recommended for selected patients after an appropriate clinical examination and ultrasound assessment.

Potential Benefits of Laser Treatment

Depending on the patient’s condition and treatment plan, potential benefits may include:

• A small access point instead of a large surgical incision
• Less tissue disruption than some traditional surgical procedures
• Early walking after treatment, when advised by the treating team
• The possibility of day-care treatment for suitable patients
• A recovery period that may be shorter than with some conventional procedures

Results, discomfort and recovery time vary between patients. Laser treatment does not guarantee that varicose veins will never return.

Who May Need Varicose Veins Treatment?

Treatment may be considered for people experiencing persistent leg discomfort, swelling, prominent veins, skin changes or complications associated with venous disease.

The appropriate approach depends on the location and severity of the affected veins, symptoms, medical history and ultrasound findings. Some patients may benefit from lifestyle measures or compression stockings, while others may be suitable for a minimally invasive procedure or surgery.

A consultation helps determine which option is appropriate for your individual condition.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

A vascular specialist assesses your symptoms, medical history and affected veins. A venous Doppler ultrasound may be recommended to evaluate blood flow, identify faulty vein valves and help plan treatment.

The findings help the doctor discuss the available options, expected benefits, possible risks and follow-up requirements.

Cost of Varicose Veins Laser Treatment in Delhi

Contact Sama Hospital for information about consultation and treatment costs. A personalised estimate can be discussed after the clinical assessment and confirmation of the proposed treatment plan.

Before proceeding, ask for a written estimate detailing the included services and any possible additional charges.

Recovery After Laser Treatment

Recovery depends on the procedure performed, the extent of treatment and the patient’s general health. Some patients can return to routine activities relatively quickly, while others may need additional recovery time.

Your doctor may recommend walking, compression stockings, wound care and temporary restrictions on strenuous activities. Follow the instructions provided by your treating team and attend scheduled follow-up appointments.

Seek medical advice if you develop increasing pain, significant swelling, fever or other concerning symptoms. Sudden breathlessness or chest pain requires emergency medical attention.
