Legs pe twisted, bulging, bluish veins jo visible ho jati hain, unhe varicose veins kehte hain. Kayi logon me sirf cosmetic concern hota hai; kuch me pain, heaviness, swelling, night cramps, ya skin changes bhi hote hain.
Initial management often lifestyle + compression hota hai:
- Long standing ya sitting avoid karna; beech-beech me walk.
- Legs slightly elevate karna rest ke time.
- Weight control.
- Doctor-advised compression stockings, jo blood ko wapas upar push karne me help karte hain.
Jab symptoms severe ho, ya cosmetic improvement strongly desired ho, tab procedures options aate hain—like laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, foam sclerotherapy, glue techniques, ya surgical ligation/stripping. Modern minimally invasive methods chhote puncture se hoti hain, local/short anaesthesia ke saath.
Kaun sa option best hai ye ultrasound mapping ke baad vascular surgeon/ specialist decide karta hai. Har method ka cost, downtime, recurrence risk, suitability different hota hai.
Self-treatment—random tight bandage, overheated massage, ya unproven creams—long-term benefit rarely dete hain. Structured plan se hi real relief possible hai.
