Varicose veins, those enlarged and twisted veins that bulge beneath the skin, can cause discomfort and affect your confidence. At Fortis Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of varicose vein treatments, helping you regain smooth, healthy legs.

Understanding Varicose Veins:

Varicose veins occur when valves in your veins weaken, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge. This can lead to:

• Visible, bulging veins: Often blue or purple in color.
• Aching legs: Especially after prolonged standing or sitting.
• Fatigue and heaviness in the legs.
• Itching and burning sensations.
• Swelling in the ankles.

Treatment Options for Varicose Veins:

• Sclerotherapy: A non-surgical option where a solution is injected into the varicose vein, causing it to scar and collapse.
• Laser treatment: Uses laser energy to target and close the varicose vein.
• Radiofrequency ablation: Uses radiofrequency waves to heat and close the varicose vein.
• VenaSeal closure system: A newer method that uses a medical adhesive to seal the vein shut.
• Ambulatory phlebectomy: A minimally invasive procedure where small varicose veins are removed through tiny incisions.
• High ligation and vein stripping: A surgical procedure for severe cases, involving tying off the affected vein and removing it.
