  • What can happen if varicose veins are left untreated?

    If venous insufficiency with varicose veins is left untreated it may progress to more severe manifestations of high pressure in the venous system such as swelling of legs, hyperpigmentation or thickening of your skin or even skin breakdown with painful ulcers. It is best to get an evaluation from a professional who specializes in vascular conditions and treats veins as and when it is necessary to treat them. Not all varicose veins need to be treated.

  • Is laser treatment for varicose veins safe?

  • Why does my leg swell if I have varicose veins?

    Dear Patient, Your legs may get swollen if you have varicose veins because Varicose veins are associated with a condition called venous insufficiency which  causes a build up of back pressure within your veins at the ankle and high pressure in those veins. This causes fluid within your veins to seep out into the surrounding tissues which manifests as "swelling". This condition can be easily diagnosed using an ultrasound scan and can often be treated by a special type of compression stockings or minimally invasive out patient procedures. Left untreated this condition may progress to more severe presentations with pigmentation or ulceration of skin at the level of the ankle. Please discuss this with your doctor on your next visit. Let us know if we can help you in any way.All the best.Shubha Varma MD READ MORE
