Varicose Vein Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment

Varicose veins are common, affecting about 30% of the population. The main concern is venous insufficiency caused by faulty valves in diseased veins, letting the blood flow in the wrong direction and pool in the leg, thus spoiling its circulation. The clinical appearance can vary from small thread veins, and spider veins to prominent, tortuous, bulging veins, swelling, and even venous eczema, bleeding, or ulcers. Also, the diseased leg is more likely to develop deep vein thrombosis.

The severity of symptoms is not necessarily in line with the clinical picture. Nonetheless, discomfort, aching, itching, throbbing, cramps, and restless legs are the most common symptoms of varicose veins. Even the advanced stage of venous insufficiency can be almost symptom-free; therefore, we recommend a clinical check-up with a varicose vein expert in case of any of the above signs.

Lifestyle changes, medications, and compression stockings can be useful in some cases, but current guidelines recommend surgical solutions for varicose veins. During the conventional “stripping type” operation, the main vein trunk was pulled out under general anesthesia, causing considerable damage to surrounding tissues, more pain, a higher chance of nerve damage, a lymphatic leak, and a slower recovery. This operation is considered outdated.
Modern, minimally invasive endovenous techniques can be performed under local anesthesia and close the vein in its place without mechanical damage, resulting in quick recovery, minimal discomfort, and a favorable safety profile. Different types of veins and anatomical situations may require different solutions:

Laser treatment for varicose veins:

Laser treatment (EVLT or EVLA) uses a laser to close the vein from the inside. An anesthetic solution is injected around the vein to protect surrounding tissues from the heat. We use different types of the most advanced mono- and dual-ring laser fibers from Biolitec

The Venaseal Closure System:

The Venaseal Closure System uses a specially formulated cyanoacrylate medical glue to stick the vein walls together. There is no heat used; it is basically pain-free with minimal discomfort, and the recovery is almost immediate. The diameter and location of the vein can be limiting factors.

Sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy:

Sclerotherapy and foam sclerotherapy use a sclerosant agent injected into the veins, where chemical damage to the walls occurs. This can be combined with the endovenous options or on its own for spider veins or side branches.
