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 two main conditions affecting veins. These include varicose veins and spider veins. Of these two, varicose veins are the most troubling one and often lead to health care attention. Some clients seek medical attention to correct what they perceive as loss of beauty while others are driven by health worries and concerns. Whichever the case, health professionals competently address these concerns using available options of care.

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.

A third approach entails surgical incision. In such a case, a local or more often general anesthesia is adopted to control pain during such a procedure. Two terminal ends of troubling structure is identified, cut and tied to control l bleeding during the procedure. A sterile and flexible strip of wire is then inserted into target tissue. Once the wire is inserted, it is physical used to strip off malfunctioning veins. Minor complications as bruising are common. However, major complications as nerve damage are rare.

Another option is transilluminated powered phlebectomy. It is a relatively new way of managing varicose veins. An illumination source is used as a guide to identify target structures which are then removed. A suction device is used to accomplish this goal. During the procedure, ether a local or general anesthesia is used. The choice is guided by assessment and preference of a physician.

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.

Early and timely care is essential. All persons should seek care before it is too late and too expensive to control an underlying health condition.
