Varicose vein surgery is a medical procedure used to treat varicose veins, which are swollen, twisted veins that can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort. The procedure involves removing or closing off the affected veins to improve blood circulation and alleviate symptoms. Varicose vein surgery can be performed using several techniques, including sclerotherapy (injecting a solution into the vein to close it), laser therapy, or vein stripping.
This procedure is effective in reducing symptoms, improving circulation, and preventing complications such as blood clots or ulcers. It is commonly recommended for patients who experience chronic pain, swelling, or discomfort due to varicose veins.
