Appropriate Varicose Vein Treatment Options

By Freida Michael


Proper circulatory system is necessary for a healthy life. It serves to distribute nutrients and oxygen among many more substances to all cells of the human body. A slight malfunction may cause adverse effects with far reaching consequences. For this reason, all diseases should be attended in a timely manner to enhance desirable quality of health. Varicose vein treatment is part of this precaution and should be addressed properly.

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 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.

Option two involves application of sclerotherapy. A chemical substance is directly injected into affected structures. This chemical is in the form of foam and causes scaring and eventual loss of function in target vessels. All persons who have a positive history of deep vein thrombosis must not undergo this procedure. It tends to cause recurrence of the same after procedure.

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.

A more recent approach in treatment is phlebectomy. In this case, a source of illumination is needed so as to visualize underlying tissues for effective intervention. Once target tissues are identified, they are selectively digested and suctioned thereby eliminating them. This is followed by some prophylactic medication to prevent infection after the procedure. In a few days, one becomes fit and healthy without distressing signs and symptoms of venous disease.

One other basic care for this condition is the use of compression stalking. In this case, one wares a well fitting stalking designed for this purpose. It must be gentle enough to promote circulation and should be put on most of the times. It works by squeezing muscles and consequently blood through veins thereby avoiding stasis. Stasis may lead to additional more troubling health conditions.

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.
