One ital system in humans is circulatory system. It aids in absorption and distribution or redistribution of substances in the body. This system must work efficiently so as to sustain quality and desired life. If for any reason the system malfunctions then life quality is compromised. Timely treatment is therefore necessary so as to avoid complications. One such timely intervention includes varicose vein treatment.

There are a number of reasons that drive individuals to seek care. These can broadly be classified as medical and cosmetic concerns. Individuals who are driven by medical concerns seek to ease symptoms associated with this condition. In addition, they may be troubled by complications arising from the primary disease. Cosmetic concerns revolve around physical appearance and the perception of not being pleasant to others. It calls for plastic surgery.

One form of treatment that is commonly adopted is endothermic ablation. It is intended to close affected vessels thereby occluding them. This prevents any further flow of blood through them and allows such vessels to disintegrate with time. This may take the form of radiofrequency ablation or endoveous laser treatment. The goal in each case is to seal off affected vessels and promote patient comfort.

Option two involves application of sclerotherapy. A chemical substance is directly injected into affected structures. This chemical is in the form of foam and causes scaring and eventual loss of function in target vessels. All persons who have a positive history of deep vein thrombosis must not undergo this procedure. It tends to cause recurrence of the same after procedure.

A third approach entails surgical incision. In such a case, a local or more often general anesthesia is adopted to control pain during such a procedure. Two terminal ends of troubling structure is identified, cut and tied to control l bleeding during the procedure. A sterile and flexible strip of wire is then inserted into target tissue. Once the wire is inserted, it is physical used to strip off malfunctioning veins. Minor complications as bruising are common. However, major complications as nerve damage 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.

Another recommended management for this condition is the use of compression stockings. These stockings are specially designed to compress or squeeze calf muscles and surrounding structures. This way, blood flow back to heart is promoted so as to avoid blood stasis and its related distress.
