Proper circulatory system is necessary for a healthy life. It serves to distribute nutrients and oxygen among many more substances to all cells of the human body. A slight malfunction may cause adverse effects with far reaching consequences. For this reason, all diseases should be attended in a timely manner to enhance desirable quality of health. Varicose vein treatment is part of this precaution and should be addressed properly.
Different persons may seek medical care for varying reasons. More often, distressing symptoms and or complications of varicose veins is the primary driving force behind health seeking. In some other cases, individuals come complaining of undesired physical appearance created by venous distention. Whichever the case, it is necessary that all cases are addressed in time and effectively. In addressing this condition, physicians may adopt different available options as outlined below.
Endothermic ablation is one of the many treatment options. In this treatment approach, the primary goal is to close affected vessels and rest them from their functions. Once occluded, a vessel no longer causes any threat to health. In addition, the cosmetic concern is equally addressed as affected structures atrophies and disappears. There are two options that may be adopted to achieve this objective. One is radiofrequency ablation and the second is laser approach. In either case, high energy is released into affected structures causing disintegration and collapse.
A second option of therapy is sclerotherapy. A physician injects a special kind of foam into affected structures. After an injection of this kind, veins involved scar, lose their integrity and eventually collapse. Once they collapse, all distressing symptoms fade away after a few days since they no longer function as part of circulatory system. However, not all clients can utilize this form of treatment. All persons undergoing this kind of treatment must not have had deep vein thrombosis.
A third option involves surgery. A surgical procedure may always be necessary in cases where above options are not suitable. It is done under general anesthesia. This procedure entails ligation and stripping off parts of vein affected. Two minor incisions are carried out at the ends of identified venous structure; a thin flexible sterile piece of wire is then passed through the identified structure to aid in stripping it off. Minor complications as bruising are common but major complications like nerve injury are rare.
Another option is transilluminated powered phlebectomy. It is a relatively new way of managing varicose veins. An illumination source is used as a guide to identify target structures which are then removed. A suction device is used to accomplish this goal. During the procedure, ether a local or general anesthesia is used. The choice is guided by assessment and preference of a physician.
One other basic care for this condition is the use of compression stalking. In this case, one wares a well fitting stalking designed for this purpose. It must be gentle enough to promote circulation and should be put on most of the times. It works by squeezing muscles and consequently blood through veins thereby avoiding stasis. Stasis may lead to additional more troubling health conditions.
It is better to seek early quality care before complications set in. This may be possible if one adopts the attitude of health seeking behavior. Let us all strive for better health by visiting health professionals in health facilities.
