Varicose veins are a painful venous condition that affects the vascular system and can affect any area of the body. They are commonly found in the legs. Varicose veins are not only painful and unsightly, but they can also lead to significant health problems in the long run.

Swelling, heaviness, and throbbing pain can be relieved considerably or entirely in around 80% of patients with varicose vein surgery.
After a thorough evaluation, Vascular surgery doctors in Delhi will make treatment recommendations.
What is the surgical treatment for varicose veins?
Varicose vein stripping is typically performed as an outpatient surgery that enables patients to return home the same day. It generally takes several hours, depending on the varicose vein severity.
Depending on the surgeon's recommendations, the patient will be given one of the following:
- General anesthesia: patients will sleep throughout the surgery.
- Spinal anesthesia: this form of anesthesia numbs the lower portion of the body.
- The surgeon will next make several tiny incisions or cuts, either on top of or beneath the injured veins. Another incision will be made in the groin, and another further down the leg, in the calf or ankle.
- A thin, flexible plastic wire gets inserted into the vein through the incision in the groin and then tied to it.
- The wire is then drawn out through the incision from the lower leg. After all the varicose veins have been stripped or removed, the surgeon will stitch up the incisions and apply bandages and compression stockings on the legs.
Which conditions lead to vascular surgery for varicose veins?
- Varicose veins that recur
- Lifestyle changes and non-invasive methods failing
- Varicose veins worsening
- Varicose veins causing blood clots or ulcers
- Bleeding from varicose veins
When should you consult a doctor?

Conclusion
Varicose vein surgery is a surgical technique used to remove or treat diseased puffy veins. It is preferred to other treatments since it lowers the chance of recurrence.
One-way valves (valves that open only on one side, enabling blood to flow only in one direction) are present in veins, and they assist in the return of blood to the heart. Blood might pool or return in veins if these valves are weak or damaged. Varicose veins are the result of these swollen veins.
Due to blood flow difficulties, varicose veins usually develop in veins farthest from the heart.
A physical examination is used to diagnose in the majority of cases. While your doctor asks you about your symptoms and examines your legs for varicose veins, the patient will need to stand. Some tests may be recommended from time to time, such as:
Doppler test: A doppler test is an ultrasound scan used to identify the direction of blood flow in the veins, the presence of blood clots and the causes and sites of vein blockage. This ultrasound scan displays a colored picture of the veins and assesses the speed of blood flow in the veins.
The pain level varies depending on the procedure — every surgery is associated with some level of pain and suffering. Due to anesthesia, you will experience no pain during this procedure.
