Varicose veins
Varicose veins are not only an esthetic but also a physical problem which must be treated. Varicose veins are extended veins which considerably are visible under the skin. In them the blood flows more slowly and leads to a blood jam. In addition, water collects in the surrounding tissue. This is the case particularly in the evening when the legs fill themselves up heavily. Perhaps you have swollen and itch. There are different methods for the medical treatment of varicose veins.
At first the varicose veins are examined with ultrasound. Depending on results the surgeon suggests the most appropriate method for the elimination.
The thinner fight blood vessels can be removed with the so-called sclerotherapy. Indium of the medical treatment splash one by quite small needle sclerotherapy means into the vein. Through this the vein walls stick together. You cannot be by bled any more and within few days the body dismantles these. As a rule, the sclerotherapy therapy requires several meetings.
With the so-called stripping method the ill veins are removed into general anesthesia. With the help of a flexible probe the surgeon pulls the varicose veins out of the body by a small incision. A stationary stay of a couple of days is necessary at this method. A risk lies in a possible damage to neighboring main veins.
As a rule, the laser therapy is carried out in a local anesthesia. The laser is introduced to the blood vessel and locks the vessels. The veins shrink and the body dismantles them. The advantages of this method are: Bleedings appear more rarely and it is practically grain free. The risk of getting an infection here is therefore very low.

A serious physician informs the patients about possible risks and the limits of the medical treatment. One can state the definite result only after six months.
