Treatment options for varicose veins vary depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s overall health. For mild cases, conservative treatments are often recommended, including lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, weight management, and avoiding prolonged standing or sitting.
Compression stockings are also commonly prescribed to improve circulation and relieve symptoms. For more significant varicose veins, minimally invasive procedures are often effective. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade. Endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) use heat to seal off the affected veins.
VenaSeal is a newer technique that uses a medical adhesive to close the vein. VenaSeal is considered as one of the most effective and safe treatment for varicose veins and venous ulcers in elderly and high risk patients. In severe cases where these treatments are not suitable, surgical options such as vein stripping or phlebectomy may be necessary. Each treatment option has its benefits and risks, and a healthcare provider can help determine the best approach.
