What are varicose Veins?
Under the skin, varicose or enlarged veins can appear purple or blue. They may be an indication of a serious health issue and require treatment. The veins are blood vessels that carry blood to the heart from various parts of the human body. The heart pumps this blood to the lungs to provide oxygen. Varicose veins can occur when the veins enlarge and swell due to an excessive accumulation of blood. They are most commonly found on the legs but can occur anywhere. Most people only experience a few symptoms or signs of varicose veins. In some cases, however, complications can develop, such as blood clots or mild to moderate pain.
How are varicose veins diagnosed?
A patient with varicose venous complaints who consults a physician should undergo a thorough physical examination.
Color Doppler Ultrasonography is used to evaluate the patient.
This method allows for detecting varicose and clotting veins and their structure.
The patient will not experience any discomfort or pain during the procedure.
If the application of color Doppler is not sufficient, the venography method can be used. This involves injecting medication directly into the vein to visualize the veins.
What is the Treatment for Varicose Venous?
Initially, varicose legs are a cosmetic problem. Untreated varicose veins can lead to numbness, leg pain, and a wound opening.
Therefore, a vascular specialist must treat patients with varicose venous disease. Varicose veins are treated with both surgical and non-surgical techniques.
Non-surgical treatment methods for varicose varices include
- Laser Varicose Vein Treatment,
- Radiofrequency varicose Vein Treatment,
- Foam treatment, and
- Glue/Adhesive treatment.
After a thorough examination and the detection of varicose veins, the method to treat them is determined.
Varicose veins are Vein Insufficiency.
Varicose veins are caused by insufficiency of the superficial veins. These veins carry dirty blood from the legs to the lungs, where it is cleaned.
Diverse factors help pump dirty blood from the legs into the lungs. Valves in the leg veins stop blood from flowing back to the heart.
The condition known as varicose legs is caused when the valves cannot work due to various factors, including hereditary.

Varicose Veins Types, Types
There are three main types of varicose venous. The structure of varicose vessels determines the type.
1- Reticular Veins-Medium Varicose Veins
Bulges on the surface of the skin are characteristic of varicose veins. These varicose vessels can cause pain, tingling, and visual impairment. If they are seen, they can also be treated in various ways. Therefore, it is advisable for patients with large varicose varices to consult a specialist in radiology for a varicose-vein examination.
2- Telangiectasias-Capillary Varicose Veins
This varicose is the most common and can be seen in most people. These varicose vessels usually do not pose any health risks, but they can cause itching in advanced stages.
Capillary varicose vessels should, therefore, be monitored. Perforating veins, internal varicose vessels in the thick vein system that run between the muscles and can cause capillary varicose varices, may also cause them. This condition should be checked for. Many people want to treat capillary varicose venous for aesthetic reasons.
3- Varicose Veins: Thick Varicose Veins or Internal Varicose Veins
Varicose vessels may not always appear on the skin's surface. Although they can be found on the skin's surface, external examination is impossible because they are located between the muscles. This varicose vein can cause symptoms like pain, cramps, and swelling. It must be treated.
How long does it usually take to perform varicose vein removal surgery in Turkey?
The entire process takes less than an hour. You will be instructed to rest for a few days after the procedure. Do not worry if there are bruises. It will go away in 2 weeks at most. Endovenous ablation also means that you won't need to use stitches. A simple bandage is all that's needed.
Can varicose Veins disappear on their own?
The ballooning of leg veins when a plastic hose is under high pressure is similar to varicose veins. The dilated or ballooned veins cannot be repaired. If varicose or spider veins appear, immediate treatment is required.
A valve treats some cases. This is not possible with veins because if the valves enlarge, the vein also enlarges. This vein must be removed.
Before it's too late, you should get treatment for varicose veins!
If not treated in time, varicose veins can become more severe and difficult to treat. One in four women and one in five men suffer from these complaints. Under the skin, varicose veins can be seen as bluish-colored bulges with different diameters.
The problem of varicose veins is not just an aesthetic one!
Varicose veins can remain without causing pain or other complaints than their appearance. Over time, however, varicose veins can cause pain, swelling in the legs, and chronic vein insufficiency.
This condition is called thrombophlebitis and can cause pain, swelling, and leg redness. It may even lead to death if the blood clot travels into the lungs. In the treatment of varicose venous, there are two main methods.
The procedure to remove varicose leg veins is known as varicose vein treatment. This procedure is the oldest varicose-vein treatment method because repairing or healing damaged leg veins is impossible. This method has limitations, but you can read more on the varisklinik.com website.
