Effective Options For Varicose Vein Treatment

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.

There are a number of reasons that drive individuals to seek care. These can broadly be classified as medical and cosmetic concerns. Individuals who are driven by medical concerns seek to ease symptoms associated with this condition. In addition, they may be troubled by complications arising from the primary disease. Cosmetic concerns revolve around physical appearance and the perception of not being pleasant to others. It calls for plastic surgery.

One form of treatment that is commonly adopted is endothermic ablation. It is intended to close affected vessels thereby occluding them. This prevents any further flow of blood through them and allows such vessels to disintegrate with time. This may take the form of radiofrequency ablation or endoveous laser treatment. The goal in each case is to seal off affected vessels and promote patient comfort.

Sclerotherapy is a second option adopted in treating this health condition. In this option, foam is injected into veins and this leads to scaring. Scared veins lose their integrity and collapse. They are consequently closed and rendered nonfunctional. All the same, not all clients can utilize this option. Individuals with positive history of deep vein thrombosis never undergo this procedure. Such a procedure is ultrasound guided and is done under local anesthesia.

A third option involves surgery. A surgical procedure may always be necessary in cases where above options are not suitable. It is done under general anesthesia. This procedure entails ligation and stripping off parts of vein affected. Two minor incisions are carried out at the ends of identified venous structure; a thin flexible sterile piece of wire is then passed through the identified structure to aid in stripping it off. Minor complications as bruising are common but major complications like nerve injury are 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.

Other modalities of care may be carried out at places of residence. These interventions do not require hospitalization as the guidelines and procedures involved are simple and easy to carry out. One of these other options is use of stalking. Compression stalking is designed to squeeze muscles and hence blood gently promoting circulation. It assists in preventing stasis of blood.

It is better to seek early quality care before complications set in. This may be possible if one adopts the attitude of health seeking behavior. Let us all strive for better health by visiting health professionals in health facilities.
