Surgery is not always necessary to treat varicose veins, especially with the availability of modern, minimally invasive treatments. For mild to moderate cases, lifestyle changes, compression stockings, and procedures like VenaSeal, sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are often sufficient to manage and treat varicose veins.
These non-surgical options are effective, have shorter recovery times, and carry fewer risks compared to traditional surgery. However, in severe cases where the veins are particularly large or when complications such as ulcers or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) arise, surgical intervention may be required.
Procedures like vein stripping, where the affected vein is physically removed, or phlebectomy, where small veins are removed through tiny incisions, are more invasive but can be necessary for complex cases. Consulting with a vein specialist is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment based on the severity of the condition.
