Can varicose veins be treated painlessly or
without Anesthesia?
Surgery appears to be a scary word most people.
This is mainly because of the anticipation of
pain after surgery. Luckily, the modern age has
numerous advancements that have made surgical
techniques painless. Before finding about the
treatment options for varicose veins, lets first
know about varicose veins The human body is
supplied by a network of blood vessels called
veins and arteries. Arteries function to supply
blood to all body parts while veins carry blood
from various body parts back to the heart. A
varicose vein can occur in any vein of the body
but more commonly affect the veins of the legs
and feet. A dysfunction occurs in the valves of
veins causing overfilling of blood in them.
These veins appear as dark purple waves and are
clearly visible through the skin. They may
become swollen and painful. They may also cause
heaviness and discomfort. How will you feel if
you are suffering from varicose veins? Like most
medical conditions, varicose veins have certain
specific symptoms. Your legs may feel heavy,
painful and you will find relief after lying
down. You may experience burning,

throbbing or itchy sensation around these veins.
These symptoms may be aggravated on sitting or
standing for long hours. Most effective treatment
for varicose veins Various treatment options have
been used to cure varicose veins. Your doctor may
choose one of the treatments depending on the
condition of your veins. Endovenous Laser
Treatment is one of the newest techniques with a
success rate of more than 98. Firstly, the
doctor will have a look at the visible veins and
the painful areas of the legs. Once this has
been assessed, the doctor may get an ultrasound
done to measure the blood flow in the affected
veins. Dr. Abhilash is the best doctor, who have
intensive experience and performed laser
treatment for varicose veins in Hyderabad
successfully for 5000 patients. The week veins
will be confirmed all using the Duplex Ultrasound
Scan. Then the area will be numbed using a local
anesthetic. Once the area has become numb, a
small cut is made on the skin for the catheter
and a guide-wire to pass. An optical laser fiber
is then passed through the catheter. The
affected veins are sealed with the help of laser
energy. The entire procedure is painless and
approximately takes an hour. Surgery made
painless The surgical cut made in this procedure
is very small compared to older techniques like
vein stripping. The laser therapy used mainly
seals off the problematic veins and thus is
minimally invasive. After the surgery,
medications will be prescribed in case the
patient is feeling any pain. The post-operative
care taken by doctors and use of laser therapy
ensure that the procedure is completely
painless! Another feature of this technique is
that, the anesthesia will be given only in the
area of treatment that is local anesthesia. You
will not be under general anesthesia and will be
awake during the procedure. The local anesthesia
acts only in the particular area keeping it numb
and making the procedure painless. Thus the risks
involved in this procedure are the
least. Post-operative care After the procedure
the patients go home with a bandage and stockings
placed by your surgeon. These have to be kept on
for a day or two as you surgeon advices you.
Bandages can be removed after two days of having
the treatment after having bath. Later on
stockings should be worn during the day and
taken off at night While sleeping, you should
keep in mind to place two pillows under your
feet. You will be given some medications to
avoid pain and the risk of infection. It is
essential that you complete course of these
medicines. You can start with routine activities
within two or three days and resume work within
a week. You should avoid long hour flights for at
least 6 weeks.
