If you find that bulging and painful veins are making life uncomfortable, then varicose veins can go far in affecting the way you look; in addition, they can bring suffering and fatigue, not to mention health risks. But any discomfort may be eased in minutes with non-surgical methods of treatment for varicose veins administered by Dr. Vrishit Saraswat, allowing one to avoid surgery, pain, and long downtime.

Want to be free of swollen, pained legs and ugly veins? You are far from alone.

If you've observed that you have twisted, bulging veins in your legs, or you have heaviness or aching or swelling - then probably it is due to varicosity. Many people feel embarrassed or frustrated over whether it is just a matter of cosmetics or of real consequence.

The truth about varicosity, however, is that it is a medical condition that occurs when blood flow is obstructed in your leg veins. If left overdue, they could give rise to skin changes, ulcers, or even blood clots. Isn't that great? No unnecessary surgery to get rid of them.

For varicose veins, Dr. Vrishit Saraswat, a top interventional radiologist trained at Medanta, provides advanced, painless, fast, and highly effective, and safe treatments so that you can walk comfortably and confidently again.

What Are Varicose Veins and How Are They Treated?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins found usually beneath the skin and almost always in the legs. They occur when the valves inside the vein become weak or damaged, causing blood to pool.

Fortunately, modern methods of treatment do not contemplate vein stripping. Rather, less-invasive techniques are applied to seal or close the affected veins to reroute the blood through healthy veins.

The usual treatment options include:

  1. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

  • A thin catheter is threaded into the vein

  • Heat closes the vein from the inside

  • No stitches, minimal pain, fast recovery

  1. Laser Ablation (EVLT)

  • Pretty much the same as RFA, only that it uses laser energy

  • Has great results, with very little pain

  1. Foam Sclerotherapy

  • A special foam is injected to seal smaller varicose or spider veins

  • Often used following RFA for cosmetic purposes

All of the above procedures are carried out under local anesthesia, and ultrasound is used for guidance. There is no need for hospitalization or general anesthesia.

Who Needs Varicose Vein Treatment?

You may need treatment if you have:

  • Bulging, rope-like veins in your legs

  • Leg pain, heaviness, or swelling

  • Skin discoloration near the ankles

  • Itching, burning, or cramping

  • Open sores (venous ulcers)

  • A history of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)

Even if your symptoms are mild, early treatment can prevent long-term damage and improve your quality of life.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Treatment

  • No cuts, sutures, or general anesthesia are involved.

  • Outpatient procedure: Walk in and walk out.

  • Return to everyday activities in 1-2 days.
