Varicosis, which is a vascular disease seen mostly on legs, is experienced by 60 out of 100 women over the age of 20. This disease, which has an increasing rate of incidence considering genetic factors, threatens men besides women. Varicosis cause intense pains in time and also generates undesirable views.
Up To Date Treatment Options for Varicosis Diseases
Treatment plan is specified according to the blood vessels in which the disease exists (superficial/deep/capillary), the degree of the disease (pyrosis/leakage amount) and the forefront complaints of the patient (pain, distention, view). Treatment options for varicosis are:
Surgical treatment: In cases with superficial venous deficiency, surgical treatment may be necessary if high degree of leakage and high degree of dilatation in venous are present. It requires general or spinal/epidural anesthesia.
Surgical treatment: In cases with superficial venous deficiency, surgical treatment may be necessary if high degree of leakage and high degree of dilatation in venous are present. It requires general or spinal/epidural anesthesia.
Laser or Radiofrequency: It is the process of burning the blood vessel from inside by applying laser or radio frequency energy with a catheter inserted in to the blood vessel accompanied by ultrasound in advanced degree superficial varicosis. This way the vein is shriveled and completely closed. Laser or radio frequency energy may also be used for superficial capillary variscosis. It is the ideal treatment method for superficial capillary vessels smaller than 1mm diameter. Capillary vessels are completely wiped after application on capillary varicosis. Sclerotherapy process may be required before or during the treatment.
Sclerotherapy: It is also known as drug or foam treatment. It is the most proper treatment method for superficial blood vessels between 1-4 mm diameter. The blood vessel inner wall structure is deformed by injecting drug or foam in to blood vessels of this size and the blood vessel is ensured to shrivel and close.
