# Varicose Veins Treatment in Jaipur ## Advanced Laser, Glue & Microwave Therapy ### By Dr. Ankit Singhvi – Neuro & Vascular Interventional Radiologist Varicose veins are a common yet often neglected vascular condition affecting both men and women. Many patients consider them a cosmetic concern, but untreated varicose veins can lead to pain, swelling, skin changes, and even non-healing ulcers. Dr. Ankit Singhvi, Consultant Neuro & Vascular Interventional Radiologist, provides advanced, minimally invasive, stitch-free treatments for varicose veins with faster recovery and excellent long-term outcomes. --- ## What Are Varicose Veins? Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins usually seen in the legs. They occur when the valves inside the veins become weak or damaged. These valves normally prevent backward flow of blood. When they fail, blood pools in the veins, causing them to bulge and become visible under the skin. This condition is medically known as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). --- ## Why Do Varicose Veins Occur? Several risk factors contribute to the development of varicose veins: • Prolonged standing or sitting • Family history • Obesity • Pregnancy • Aging • Hormonal changes • Sedentary lifestyle In cities like Jaipur, professionals such as teachers, surgeons, factory workers, and office employees who stand or sit for long hours are at higher risk. --- ## Common Symptoms Varicose veins are not just cosmetic. They can cause: • Leg heaviness and fatigue • Burning sensation in legs • Night cramps • Swelling around ankles • Itching or skin discoloration • Thickened skin (lipodermatosclerosis) • Non-healing venous ulcers If you are experiencing persistent leg discomfort, early consultation is advised. --- ## When Should You See a Specialist? You should consult a vascular specialist if: • Pain interferes with daily activities • Swelling increases progressively • Skin color changes • There is bleeding from veins • You develop a non-healing wound Early treatment prevents complications and improves quality of life. --- # Modern Treatment Options for Varicose Veins Gone are the days of painful open surgery with large cuts and long hospital stays. Today, advanced endovenous procedures allow treatment through a small needle puncture. Dr. Ankit Singhvi offers the latest evidence-based therapies: --- ## 1. Endovenous Laser Treatment (EVLT) EVLT uses laser energy to seal the faulty vein from inside. A thin laser fiber is inserted into the vein under ultrasound guidance. Laser heat closes the vein permanently. Benefits: • No stitches • Day-care procedure • Minimal pain • Immediate walking • Fast recovery --- ## 2. Radiofrequency / Microwave Ablation Microwave or radiofrequency energy is used to close the diseased vein. It works on a similar principle to laser but uses thermal energy differently. Advantages: • Controlled energy delivery • Less post-procedure discomfort • Excellent cosmetic outcome --- ## 3. Glue Treatment (Cyanoacrylate Closure) Medical-grade glue is injected into the affected vein to seal it permanently. No heat, no tumescent anesthesia. Advantages: • No multiple injections • No compression stockings required in some cases • Very quick procedure • Immediate return to work This is one of the most comfortable modern treatments available. --- ## 4. Foam Sclerotherapy Special medical foam is injected into smaller varicose veins to close them. Ideal for: • Spider veins • Residual veins after main treatment • Cosmetic correction --- # Why Choose Minimally Invasive Treatment? Compared to conventional surgery: • No general anesthesia • No large scars • Very small puncture site • Less pain • Day-care admission • Return to routine in 24–48 hours • Lower recurrence rates Most patients walk immediately after the procedure. --- # How Is the Procedure Done? 1. Detailed clinical examination 2. Venous Doppler ultrasound mapping 3. Identification of refluxing vein 4. Ultrasound-guided catheter placement 5. Laser/microwave/glue application 6. Same-day discharge The entire procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes. --- # Is Varicose Vein Treatment Safe? Yes. When performed by a trained Vascular Interventional Radiologist using ultrasound guidance, these procedures are highly safe and effective. Complications are rare and usually minor: • Temporary bruising • Mild tightness • Transient discomfort Serious complications are extremely uncommon. --- # What Happens If Varicose Veins Are Not Treated? Untreated varicose veins can lead to: • Chronic swelling • Skin pigmentation • Eczema • Venous ulcers • Recurrent infections • Bleeding Advanced stages significantly affect quality of life and may require prolonged wound care. --- # Recovery After Treatment • Walk immediately • Avoid heavy gym activity for 1 week • Resume office work next day • Follow-up Doppler after few weeks Most patients experience dramatic relief from heaviness and swelling within days. --- # Frequently Asked Questions ### Is it painful? No. The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Mild discomfort may occur but is manageable. ### Will veins come back? Treated veins do not reopen. However, new veins may develop if lifestyle risk factors persist. ### Do I need hospital admission? It is usually a day-care procedure. ### Is it cosmetic or medical? It is primarily a medical condition that can lead to complications if untreated. --- # Lifestyle Tips to Prevent Progression • Regular walking • Weight management • Avoid prolonged standing • Leg elevation • Use compression stockings if advised • Stay hydrated --- # Why Choose Dr. Ankit Singhvi?
