Different Options Available for Varicose Vein Treatments
by Moran Kathleen Spider & Varicose Vein Treatments ExpertMost people relate varicose veins only to the legs when they actually can occur anywhere on the body. These varicose or spider veins are enlarged veins that don’t prevent blood from reversal flowing. There is a wide range of varicose vein treatments to choose from to treat your vein problem ranging from non-invasive treatment to non-surgical treatment to surgical treatment options.
Practically half of the people over 50 years of age suffer from varicose veins and its symptoms. These people look for varicose vein treatments not only for cosmetic reasons, but also for relief from the itchiness and pain related with varicose veins. Besides these medications, compression stockings that correct the reverse flow of blood, weight loss and increased muscle tone all help in treating varicose veins.
While there are various non-invasive treatment options available, doctors’ always first try treating the condition using prescription medications. The most common non-surgical varicose vein treatment is Sclerotherapy where an injection is injected into the veins to make them shrink. A patient generally needs to undergo two or more such injection sessions per month for about two months, to get the desired results.
If the above non-invasive treatment options don’t work, your medical provider will start trying other varicose veins treatment options besides surgery. These treatments are performed either by a plastic surgeon or vein care specialists called phrenologists.
In severe cases of varicose veins, the physician may opt for laser treatment for varicose veins in Montana to treat the condition. These surgical procedures are basically minimally invasive, outpatient procedures. In case of vein stripping, the trunk of the vein is removed through an incision that can leave a scar. Patients who opt for this varicose vein treatment have a 30-60% recurrence rate. Endovenous thermal ablation is a varicose vein laser treatment that takes 2 to 6 weeks for veins to fade in color. A patient generally requires three laser treatments at three month intervals for relief from varicose veins.Sponsor Ads
