Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are dilated and twisted veins, usually prominent in the legs, that occur when the valves in the veins lose their function, causing blood to flow backward.

Varicose vein treatment is performed using laser, foam sclerotherapy, radiofrequency, or surgical methods depending on the condition of the veins, providing relief both aesthetically and medically.

Symptoms of varicose veins include swelling in the legs, pain, itching, night cramps, visible veins, and increased fatigue after standing for long periods.

A varicose vein examination is performed by listening to the patient's complaints, physically examining the legs, and evaluating the vein structure in detail using Doppler ultrasound.

Foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins is an effective method in which a special foam sclerosant is injected into the varicose vein, causing the vein walls to stick together and stopping blood flow.

Varicose vein creams do not treat the veins; they only temporarily relieve swelling, pain, and heaviness. For a permanent solution to varicose veins, medical treatments are necessary.
