Conservative treatment
program for varicose veins
Compression stockings for varicose veins are generally divided into low pressure and high pressure. Low pressure applies pressure to the ankle area of about 15 to 30 mmHg, and high pressure applies pressure to about 30 mmHg.
In addition, stockings for varicose veins exert 100% pressure on the ankle area, 70% pressure on the knee area, and 40% pressure on the thigh area, thereby providing strong pressure to the distal vein area and helping venous circulation.
This is a treatment method that destroys the lining of the vein by injecting a sclerosing agent into the vein and closes the vein by forming a scar. It can be used preferentially for small varicose veins and can be used for small varicose veins remaining after surgical resection or recurrent varicose veins. The biggest advantage of injection sclerotherapy is that it does not require anesthesia or hospitalization and can be performed simply as an outpatient without skin incisions. However, if appropriate pressure is not applied after injecting a sclerosing agent into varicose veins, there is a high possibility of blood clots forming within the veins, which can lead to recurrence of varicose veins and worsening of symptoms. Therefore, even after rosacea treatment, compression stockings with appropriate pressure must be worn for at least 2-3 weeks.
Surgical treatment
program for varicose veins
In the United States and Europe, for varicose veins accompanied by head vein reflux, it is chosen as the standard treatment for head veins rather than surgical head vein removal. This is a method of inserting a laser fiber or high-frequency catheter that delivers laser or high-frequency waves into the head vein or varicose vein, and then damaging the inner lining of the blood vessel with heat energy, thereby constricting and closing the blood vessel through thrombosis or fibrosis.
