Today, varicose vein surgery performed with minimally invasive methods (laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, etc.) is done without incisions or general anesthesia and is practically painless; the varicose vein is closed using heat.
Many people see varicose veins as merely a cosmetic problem. This view is wrong and even dangerous.
When varicose veins go untreated for many years, they lead to dangerous complications and can eventually cause loss of the ability to work and disability.
When should varicose veins be treated surgically?
When there is a non-healing venous trophic ulcer
Varicose veins accompanied by fatigue and edema
When there are enlarged subcutaneous veins
Thrombophlebitis (formation of a clot in a superficial vein under the skin)
Impaired circulation in the lower limbs (backflow of venous blood, or reflux)
