Laser varicose vein surgery
Overview
Laser varicose vein surgery is a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to treat varicose veins using laser technology. Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins often visible on the legs or feet. During the procedure, a focused beam of light (laser) generates heat to seal the affected veins, redirecting blood flow to healthier veins. This approach alleviates discomfort, improves appearance, and reduces the risk of complications associated with untreated varicose veins.
Causes :
Varicose veins develop due to faulty or weakened valves in the veins, which disrupt blood flow and cause blood to pool. Common causes include:
- Genetics: A family history of varicose veins can increase susceptibility.
- Prolonged Standing or Sitting: Occupations requiring long hours in one position may put excess pressure on the veins.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal treatments can affect vein health.
- Age: Aging weakens vein walls and valves, increasing the risk.
- Obesity: Excess weight adds pressure on the veins, impairing proper blood flow.
Symptoms :
Symptoms of varicose veins can vary but typically include:
- Visible, bulging veins that appear blue or purple.
- Aching, heaviness, or throbbing in the legs.
- Swelling in the lower legs and ankles.
- Itching or burning sensation around the affected veins.
- Skin discoloration or ulcers near the ankles in severe cases.
