Vein disease
affects men and women equally and its results are not just cosmetic. The
swollen, bulging, and painful veins on your legs and feet lower self-confidence
too. Sometimes, they also indicate early signs of venous reflux disease. When
left untreated vein diseases can result in surgery or serious health issues
like stroke/ pulmonary embolism.
Well, if you want to avoid such serious health
ailments, make sure you get varicose veins treated in time. According to health
experts, vascular medicine can help you get the right treatment to enhance vein
health.
Less-Invasive
treatment option for varicose veins
Thankfully, there is a less-invasive treatment option
to treat varicose veins. Yes, Endovenous laser
treatment for varicose veins is the non-surgical option to treat painful
and swollen veins.
Endovenous
Laser Treatment
Venous
reflux disease happens when the blood circulation doesn’t happen properly in
your lower extremities. This leads to the accumulation of blood in the legs
which leads to varicose veins, categorized by discolored and swollen veins.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, Endovenous
laser treatment (EVLT) is completely safe and effective and helps treat varicose
veins and eradicate venous reflux disease in a single office visit. For most
patients, there is no downtime required for Endovenous laser therapy and offers relief from related symptoms in
a few days without leaving any scars.
When you
undergo EVLT treatment, one of the best vascular surgeons like Dr. Bhavin Ram would use a laser to
diminish and close your varicose vein and seal it. Now, the blood will utilize
other veins thereby offering relief from the symptoms and appear related to varicose
veins?
How does Endovenous Laser Treatment Perform?
During EVLA
treatment, a tiny optic fiber will be inserted via a needle into your varicose
vein monitored with ultrasound guidance. Next, the laser is enabled and when
the optic fiber is taken out from the vein, it heats and seals the vein. After
the vein is sealed, the blood circulation via the vein is automatically
re-directed to healthy veins. After some time the body absorbs the closed vein.
EVLT
Post Treatment care
After the
treatment, the patients are asked to wear compression bandages at daytime and
walk for a minimum of 10 minutes each, 3 times a day for almost 2 weeks.
Post-treatment,
your doctor would give detailed aftercare instructions. The most crucial thing
you need to remember is to maintain mobility to keep smooth blood circulation
while recovering.
Vein disease
cannot be fatal in itself but when left untreated it can result in other
serious health issues. So, make sure you consult expert vascular surgeons like
Dr. Bhavin Ram if you observe any symptoms.
