Varicose Vein Removal - New Treatment For Varicose Vein

(prHWY.com) August 11, 2012 - Florida, FL -- Florida, Aug 11, 2012 - A majority of patients can be treated with injection sclerotherapy, which collapses varicose veins and uses the body's normal healing mechanisms to cause them to disappear. You may rightfully expect that optimum results come with experience. Sclerotherapy often supplements larger vein treatment but is not a substitute for laser endovascular interventions when something more than sclerotherapy is necessary. While most practitioners, particularly medical doctors, know the difference still too many patients fall through the cracks of ill-advised or inappropriately applied sclerotherapy.

Varicose Vein Removal - Thick areas on legs, dark blue or purple knots, itchy or restless legs, swelling of ankles are just a few of the symptoms that one may experience. Consulting a doctor at this stage would be advisable as this may be a sign of some other disease. This is not some thing to ignore as varicose veins do not go away unless they are treated. By neglecting the problem one may create further complications such as sore reddening from inflamed areas, excessive bleeding when bumped, lasting brown spots from varicose eczema and venous ulcers.

To diagnose this complaint is easy and the doctor will need to examine the legs as well. It is always a best idea to give the practitioner one's full medical history. In severe one will be referred to a specialist in blood vessels, known as a vascular surgeon, who might also require a duplex ultra sound to check the blood flow and absence of blood clots.

Large-scale surgery involving the removal of sections of the vein has been the solution for many years. Today, with all the new technological breakthroughs, a wide range of alternative treatments are now available. Radio frequency heating of the vein to shrink that improves the valve to function, laser and light therapy, injections, and compression stockings are all less invasive and scaring. Even herbal ointments have been used with success.

Telangiectasia - If one has immediate family that have suffered from this condition there are a number of things one can do that may improve one's chances of not developing this vein disorder. Try not to do any type of work that requires long periods of standing or sitting. Flying also creates possible complications on people who have previously suffered blood clots, are obese or have suffered or are suffering from this ailment.

Microphlebectomy (or microvaricectomy) describes a technique developed also by vascular surgeons and performed often at the same time as endovascular intervention to extend the benefits of laser surgery by removing secondary and tertiary varicose veins. Performed also through tiny access ports optimum cosmetic results are achieved without scars.
