Appropriate Varicose Vein Treatment Options

By Freida Michael


Blood vessels are vital components of circulatory systems in all humans. Any malfunction may have a far reaching effect and must therefore be addressed in time and effectively. Some diseases affecting these vessels are acute while others are chronic. Whichever the case, all require adequate care as a way of preserving quality and healthy living. For this reason, let us consider varicose vein treatment as part of venous care for quality life.

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.

Endothermic ablation is one of the many treatment options. In this treatment approach, the primary goal is to close affected vessels and rest them from their functions. Once occluded, a vessel no longer causes any threat to health. In addition, the cosmetic concern is equally addressed as affected structures atrophies and disappears. There are two options that may be adopted to achieve this objective. One is radiofrequency ablation and the second is laser approach. In either case, high energy is released into affected structures causing disintegration and collapse.

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.

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.
