What is a varicose vein?

Typical leg venereal vascular disease

Inferior varicose veins are a condition caused by weakened venous vascular walls under the skin or decreased valve function within the vessel. In the early days, it doesn't cause any discomfort in life other than the tendon that came out. However, if left unattended, it can lead to cramps, swelling, stabbing, heavy pain, and constant severity, leading to complications (e.g., subcutaneous ulcers, bleeding, edema, pain, skin color changes, etc.).

varicose vein Q&A

Q.
Is it okay to remove the blood vessels by surgery?

It's okay. Leg veins are on the surface and in the heart, and only those on the surface are those that are removed by surgery or procedure. There is no worry because blood flows through the remaining deep veins. The veins on the surface also have a web-like network, so even if you remove some, the rest of the veins will function, so there is no problem with the flow of blood flow.

Doesn't the procedure hurt?

There is little pain because of the anesthetic effect during the procedure. Just as you feel pain when you anesthetize your gums at the dentist, you feel some pain when you anesthetize your skin.

Is an old age patient treatable?

If you can walk to the hospital on your own, you can treat it regardless of age.

What kind of surgery is available with national health insurance?

Surgery for root veins (fraction, evocation) and pruned veins (pollutionary vein resection) have national health insurance benefits. Our hospital uses a variety of methods to make sure that we don't have any private insurance.

Can you stop the varicose veins?

There are also physical and genetic causes that can't prevent you from becoming 100 percent intravenous, but reviewing your lifestyle can prevent it from worsening. It is necessary to avoid working long hours standing or sitting down for a long time, to move frequently or take a rest. Also, the elderly should be careful to lower their legs while sitting in a chair for a long time. Care must be taken because high blood pressure or extreme obesity can cause deterioration.

Can you treat it with a needle?

It's curing therapy. Hardening therapy is to inject a drug (hardener) by stabbing a thin needle directly into the vein, pressing it with the next elastic bandage and removing the vein. The hardened blood vessels gradually shrink and disappear. It's a good method for small veins and it's a lot of recurrent for large veins. But surprisingly, there is no burden because of the low level of complications.

Should I be treated?

The varicose vein is basically a non-life-threatening benign disease, so it depends on the patient whether or not they will be treated or when they will be treated. Since there are many people who come to the outpatient clinic after a long illness, some people want to treat it boldly and cleanly at this time, and they may think that they should wait and see because they have endured the pain well. However, if you have subjective symptoms, ulcers, or other skin diseases, it is recommended that you receive treatment if possible. It is also recommended that those who will continue their standing work receive treatment.

varicose vein therapy

Venasil

Benacillus, one of the most popular treatment methods of varicose veins, is a safe surgical method officially approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in the evaluation of stability and validity of neuropathic technology. It is the concept of treating reflux vessels by blocking reverse flow using cyanoacrylate. Therefore, there is no physical or heat damage, so postoperative pain is certainly less treatment than conventional methods.

Clarivein

This procedure inserts a catheter that rotates into the vessel and injects a cure. One of the third-generation treatments for varicose veins. Clarivein is a popular practice in the United States, Canada, and Europe that precedes Venasil. The treatment of the vessels with conventional syringes was only possible with very thin blood vessels, which were usually used only for cosmetic purposes. Clarivein is characterized by the ability to treat thick veins with varicose veins. Clarivein therapy is available in the body. STS curing agent capacity is fixed and may be limited to one leg treatment if treatment range is wide.

Radio frequency surgery

Insert a high frequency catheter into the vessel where the reverse flow occurred to deliver a constant heat of 120 ̊C.It is a new concept therapy that induces heat damage and fibrous reactions in the blood vessels to close the vessels with reflux, so there is little scar and pain compared to incision surgery accompanied by scarring and pain, and recovery is quick.

Laser surgery

The principle is that laser light fibers are inserted into the vessel to generate heat and burn the vessel to block backflow. It can be treated only by inducing sleep using partial anesthesia and sedatives, and the possibility of subcutaneous bleeding is lower than that of conventional erection.It is a treatment that has been proven safe through numerous clinical trials and is widely practiced in specialized venous centers in the United States and Europe.It has the advantage of being able to return to daily life without leaving a scar.

Ambulatory phlebectomy

It is a procedure for extracting veins from veins and simply removing veins within the local range. The treatment is carried out with a minimum incision of 1 to 2mm under local anesthesia. It can be treated simply in about 10 minutes, but it is difficult to see as a fundamental treatment and it is a local treatment.

Sclerotherapy

The method is to inject a treatment drug (hardener) into the venous vessels in question and apply pressure from the outside to adhere to the inner walls of the vessels and fiberize them to remove them. Vascular sclerotherapy is mainly used for vascular malformation and vascular dilatation.
