Open surgery for common varicose veins is not recommended.
Varicose veins that are not complicated by anatomical issues should preferably be treated with endovenous laser therapy.
Varicose veins that do not have complications or anatomical issues are better treated with endovenous laser therapy.
No! Varicose veins do not disappear with medication.
In superficial varicose veins, there is a risk of small clots, pain, and redness.
Also, capillary varicose veins might rupture and cause severe bleeding.
Rope-like varicose veins may lead to complications such as clot formation in the legs, pulmonary embolism, chronic ulcers, or permanent discoloration of the leg.
Static sports like weightlifting and bodybuilding.
Clothing that is tight or snug around the thighs and waist.
Yes. Aerobic exercises like walking, swimming, etc., are not restricted after varicose vein treatment.
It is recommended that patients wear therapeutic stockings for one month after varicose vein treatment, and then preventive stockings thereafter.Preventive stockings are meant to prevent the development of new varicose veins, and it is advisable for people with standing jobs to always wear these stockings while working.
In most cases, veins treated with sclerotherapy or endovenous laser do not develop varicose veins again.
However, individuals who are genetically predisposed to varicose veins should continue special care for their legs even after treatment to prevent varicose veins from forming in other areas of the leg.
No. These socks are not standard and often cause swelling in the foot area.
Varicose vein stockings that are available in most pharmacies or medical supply stores lack the necessary standards because they apply uniform pressure to the entire leg.
In contrast, standard stockings are designed and made to apply the most pressure around the ankle and foot, with gradually decreasing pressure higher up the leg.
This design helps facilitate blood drainage from the leg.
No. The only one makes profit from these products is their producer!
They have no effect on treating varicose veins.
Yes. Since varicose veins are non-functional and blood does not move within them, there is a risk of clot formation and subsequent movement of the clot to the heart and lungs, leading to embolism.
No. When a varicose vein is treated with sclerotherapy or endovenous laser, the vein is first drained of blood using special techniques.
Therefore, there is no blood in these veins to form clots and cause embolism.
New treatments for varicose veins do not require rest, and the patient can move immediately after treatment and return to work the next day.
