What are varicose veins?
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted superficial veins — most often in the legs — where one-way valves no longer close tightly. Blood refluxes with gravity, raising venous pressure and stretching the vein wall. They are common with prolonged standing, obesity, pregnancy, family history, and jobs with limited calf pumping. Many people notice rope-like veins and aching by evening; others seek care for skin changes or ulcers.
Symptoms
- Visible twisted veins and clusters on calves or thighs
- Heaviness or fatigue in the legs, worse after standing
- Aching, throbbing, or tightness along the vein course
- Swelling around the ankles, especially after long standing
- Skin discoloration or thickening near the inner ankle (gaiter area)
- Night cramps, itching over prominent veins, restless legs
Red flags — seek urgent care
- Active skin ulceration or bleeding from a vein
- Sudden marked leg swelling with chest pain or breathlessness (possible clot-related emergency)
Treatment options
Conservative management
Graduated compression stockings, leg elevation when resting, weight optimisation, walking, and calf activation — baseline for symptoms and for recovery after procedures.
Sclerotherapy
Injection of sclerosant into smaller veins or tributaries after mapping — useful for branch veins and residual clusters, sometimes combined with truncal ablation.
Endovenous laser ablation (EVLT)
Minimally invasive, daycare treatment: a thin fibre seals the faulty axial vein from inside under tumescent anaesthesia and ultrasound vision.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
Thermal closure similar in goal to EVLT, using radiofrequency energy — choice depends on vein pattern and clinical context.
Open surgery (stripping)
Older approach, reserved for selected anatomy, recurrence patterns, or when minimally invasive routes are not suitable — discussed openly with risks and recovery expectations.
EVLT vs open surgery — comparison
| Topic | EVLT (endovenous laser) | Open stripping (selected cases) |
|---|---|---|
| Pain | Usually mild–moderate; controlled with oral medication | Often higher initially due to tissue dissection |
| Recovery | Walking same day; desk work often within days to a week | Longer downtime and wound care |
| Scarring | Small entry points | Longer incisions along treated segments |
| Hospital stay | Often daycare / short stay | May need longer observation |
| Return to work | Earlier for many office roles | Typically later for heavy physical jobs |
