According to Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik, who is considered to be the best varicose vein doctor in Kolkata, varicose veins develop due to weak or damaged venous walls and valves. Risk factors include genetics, age, pregnancy and sitting or standing for long periods of time.
Unfortunately, varicose veins do not heal with time unless intervened by an experienced surgeon.
Varicose veins, when left untreated, lead to serious complications, including rashes, infections, bleeding, sores and blood clots. If your leg is already swollen, it may lead to more serious complications, says the varicose vein surgeon in Kolkata.
If you have varicose veins do consult your doctor when you have the following symptoms:
Yes. Surgical treatment usually helps in relieving symptoms associated with varicose veins. In more than 80% of people, it improves symptoms like pain, swelling and itching or makes them disappear completely, and the cosmetic look of the legs becomes better afterwards.
Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT), performed by varicose vein surgeon, is a novel technique used for treating this condition. Diode laser is used to ablate the varicose vein in a minimally invasive procedure.
No, not at all. During an EVLT session, patients usually do not feel any discomfort. There is no pain even when the procedure is over and the effect of anaesthesia is gone
Immediately after the procedure the venous lumen is obliterated and the external appearance of venous engorgement disappears. The leg is completely wrapped with a compressive dressing. After about one week, you will start to notice the difference in the prominence of varicose veins, but complete response may take weeks to months
Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) is a very safe and effective treatment for varicose veins and it can cure venous reflux disease in just one office visit
In the early post-procedural period of EVLT, most of the patients feel mild tightness in the treated areas, but these effects usually do not last long.
Yes. In fact, walking is encouraged immediately after the procedure
