Varicose Veins
ورم رگ / پھولی ہوئی رگیں
Aching, swollen leg veins managed without an operation in many cases.
Many patients avoid an operation
This is one of the conditions where treatment often succeeds without surgery. Every case differs, though — and if an operation is genuinely the right course, you will be told so plainly rather than kept on treatment.
About this condition
Varicose veins cause aching, heaviness and swelling that worsen through the day and after long standing. Treatment addresses those symptoms together with compression and activity advice. Established skin damage, ulceration or clotting needs vascular surgical assessment.
Important
A hot, painful, swollen calf may be a deep vein thrombosis and needs same-day medical assessment.
Symptoms we see
- Visible twisted veins in the legs
- Aching heaviness after standing
- Ankle swelling by evening
- Night cramps
- Itching over the veins
- Skin darkening around the ankle
Not every patient has every symptom — and the combination present is precisely what determines the remedy.
