SPECIALIST OFFICE OF PHLEBOLOGY AND AESTHETIC MEDICINE
Welcome to our phlebology clinic! We specialize in the treatment of varicose veins in the lower extremities, and we would like to share some information with you on this topic:
What are varicose veins in the lower extremities?
Varicose veins in the lower extremities are enlarged, elongated, and twisted veins that often occur in the legs. They result from the weakening and damage of valves in the veins, which normally prevent blood from flowing backward. Varicose veins can lead to symptoms such as pain, heaviness, swelling, leg fatigue, and aesthetic concerns.
What are the causes of varicose veins?
Varicose veins can have various causes, including genetic predisposition, unhealthy lifestyle habits, obesity, pregnancy, prolonged standing or sitting, excessive leg strain, smoking, and certain medical conditions.
What are the available treatment methods for varicose veins?
Our clinic offers various treatment methods for varicose veins, including sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and invasive surgical procedures. The choice of treatment method depends on the individual needs of the patient and the characteristics of the varicose veins.
What does the process of treating varicose veins look like?
Before initiating treatment, we conduct a thorough examination and consultation to assess the extent of varicose veins and tailor the appropriate therapy. The treatment process may involve multiple sessions, depending on the individual needs of the patient. After the procedure, we recommend wearing special compression stockings and regular follow-up appointments.
What are the benefits of treating varicose veins?
Treating varicose veins has several benefits, including reducing pain and swelling, improving the aesthetics of the legs, enhancing walking comfort, and reducing the risk of complications such as ulcers or blood clots.
What are the contraindications to varicose vein treatment?
Certain contraindications apply to some varicose vein treatment methods. These may include pregnancy, active skin infection, thromboembolic disorders, uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions, and certain health issues. During the medical consultation, we will discuss your specific situation in detail and tailor the appropriate treatment.
